Dc Central Kitchen Inc.

Mission

DC Central Kitchen uses food as a tool to strengthen bodies, empower minds, and build communities. Since our founding in 1989, DC Central Kitchen has prepared 54 million meals for our low-income neighbors in Washington, DC - but don't mistake us for a soup kitchen. The 17,000 meals we prepare each day are distributed at little or no cost to 80 homeless shelters, transitional homes, and nonprofit organizations, saving them money and nourishing their clients. Most importantly, we're working to shorten DC's line of hungry people by the way we're feeding it. At our new headquarters in Southwest DC, we offer a rigorous Culinary Job Training program for unemployed men and women who want to replace homelessness, addiction, and incarceration with new careers and changed lives. Our graduates have averaged an 85% job placement rate, and we now employ over 160 graduates in social enterprises that create living wage jobs, serve healthy food, and earn the majority of our annual revenue.
