They say an army marches on its stomach, and students are no different. Throughout the ordeal, the Chartwells Food Service staff has kept positive and continued to serve the OLLU community.

“We’re surviving,” said Sherri Henwood, director of Food Service for the Lake.

Though the cafeteria is in the Main building, it received minimal water damage. But, due to corporate policy, the cafeteria license was pulled and all perishables were to be discarded. 

“The restoration company that is working for the university is throwing everything out of the kitchen as we speak … all the food and all the paper products,” Henwood said.

Jack Hank, vice president of Student Life, is hopeful that the cafeteria will reopen. “I did take a peek in there and the floor looked good; ceiling tiles like (the city inspectors) said were gone,” but with some cleaning and minor construction Hank believes that Sister Annie B’s Cafeteria will be open soon. 

In the meantime, the Chartwells staff is centered in the UWAC, plating, serving and cleaning; dishing out the food donated by so many local businesses.
