Scope and Contents

Stacey Allen runs the kitchen for Occupy Salt Lake. She is not politically involved with the protests. She got involved as a volunteer because she was living at Pioneer Park with her husband and saw that they needed help with the kitchen. Because she has experience working in kitchens she decided to take over. The protest has a lot of support from local businesses who donate food, tents, blankets, and supplies. Local people are also donating supplies as well as volunteering and protesting. Because they don’t have electricity or water much of the food must be cooked away from the park and brought back. The police and government have been supportive. People from other Occupy protests across the country come to help and swap stories.
Project: Occupy Salt Lake City.
