SEGi College Penang recently undertook a meaningful initiative titled “Surplus Kitchen 2.0: A Dedication to the Salvation Army,” at the Salvation Army Penang. This event, organized by the School of Hospitality & Tourism Management, brought together 25 dedicated participants, all driven by a shared commitment to advancing educational excellence and contributing to sustainable development.
The “Surplus Kitchen 2.0” initiative was more than just an event—it was a profound demonstration of SEGi College Penang’s dedication to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

By collaborating with the Salvation Army, SEGi College Penang not only addressed immediate community needs but also reinforced its commitment to fostering sustainable practices and partnerships that make a lasting impact.
Throughout the day, participants engaged in various activities aimed at reducing food waste and redistributing surplus food to those in need. This hands-on approach provided students with a real-world understanding of the importance of responsible consumption, while also making a tangible difference in the lives of the beneficiaries. The event underscored the critical role that educational institutions play in driving social change and promoting sustainable development.
