Counter, Surface, & Landing Space

Two work center heights should be included in your new kitchen. This makes it easy for cooks (of varying heights) to accomplish multiple tasks. For example, chopping and kneading bread is more comfortable at a lower level. The amount of countertop space required differs for small and large kitchens; however, minimum depth should be 16" with wall cabinets located at least 15" above countertop height. Minimum countertop space adjacent to sink and appliances is noted, as well as minimum space required for food preparation. If you plan a kitchen bar or peninsula with seating, clearances are noted to allow for sufficient elbow and knee room. Countertop corners should be finished to eliminate sharp corners. See Guidelines 22-34 NKBA's Kitchen Planning Guide.

Credit with Education is Freedom from Hunger's worldwide strategy to bring self-help solutions to the fight against hunger--one family at a time. In 1988, we initiated the Credit with Education program, launching a new era of impact and outreach in our fight against hunger. The success of the program lies in its ability to combine information for improving people's lives with the means to do so.
