Kellogg Community College’s popular Soul Food Luncheon returns to campus Wednesday, Feb. 25.
This year’s luncheon will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Kellogg Room of the Student Center, on campus at 450 North Ave. in Battle Creek. Tickets can be purchased at the door on the day of the event and are $5 for students and $10 for the general public.
Note: Food for this event does go fast; tickets will be sold until the food is gone, but arriving early is encouraged as the event generally does sell out.
The Soul Food Luncheon is a popular annual Black History Month event at KCC featuring a lunch of traditional African American dishes. This year’s menu includes a choice of traditional fried chicken or ribs with mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, cornbread and collard greens, and dessert choices including banana pudding, pound cake or peach cobbler.
The Soul Food Luncheon event started at KCC as a way for then Vice President of Student Services L. Marshall Washington to share his family’s recipes with the College and the public. The event grew to involve other KCC employees and their family recipes.
The Soul Food Luncheon overlaps with KCC’s Black History Month Business Showcase event, held at the same time in the Binda Lobby. The showcase event offers visitors a chance to explore a variety of local businesses and entrepreneurs who enrich our community and will include vendor displays, opportunities to connect and learn, prize raffles and more.
