DC Central Kitchen
Founded in 1989 in protest of traditional charity models, the organization uses career training, job creation, and sustainable business practices to strengthen local food systems and reduce disparities in health and economic opportunity. The Kitchen’s life-changing social ventures include providing culinary job training to at-risk adults, turning wasted food into balanced meals for shelters and nonprofits, and serving healthy, scratch-cooked meals in low-income schools.

Here’s what we’re doing this summer: serving more than 130,000 free, healthy summer meals, enrolling 90 more culinary students to our Culinary Job Training program, bringing discounted fruits and vegetables to 15,000 low-income shoppers, and feeding more than 10,000 additional families. And right now, every donation is doubled by a generous local family. Help us kick-start our summer efforts!
