DC Central Kitchen was founded on the premise that waste is wrong. Be it food, money, or productive minds, we hate to see wasted potential.
We use the Kitchen as a central location to recover unused food, prepare and deliver meals to partner social service agencies, train and employ homeless men and women for the food service industry, and intellectually engage volunteers.
Our cohesive approach to solving the interconnected problems of poverty, hunger, and homelessness has led us to become a recognized national leader in our field.
