DC Central Kitchen

#MemberSpotlight: @published an article about how @dcck has expanded its mission of using food to combat hunger and foster economic mobility by diversifying revenue streams, training thousands for careers and sharing its replicable model with nonprofits. philanthropy.com/news/how-dc-ce…

Highly recommended!

When we recognize that lasting progress comes from addressing root causes of challenges – not just immediate needs – the impact can strengthen entire communities. @Philanthropy explains how @dcck has built a model that grows even in challenging times.philanthropy.com/news/how-dc-ce…

The Chronicle of Philanthropy took a deep dive on @dcck and its impact on the nonprofit sector. See why they call this group “a national model for using food to create economic opportunity [that] doesn’t keep its playbook to itself” in this great piece: philanthropy.com/news/how-dc-ce…

In 1989, @DC Central Kitchen opened in an old dentist's office with a bold idea: Use food to fight poverty, not just hunger. 37 years later: 17,000 meals served daily, a 50-store produce network, and thousands trained for food service careers — more than $40M in assets and growing. Proof that scaling up beats scaling back. Read the full story by @StephBeasley: phlnthrp.com/4bdwotm 📸 : Charlotte Kesl

This afternoon, @MSE staff volunteered @dcck. Thank you for having us!

Last week, members of our @MSE team were back in the kitchen at @dcck. Every month, MSE staff commit their time to preparing meals for our neighbors across the District. At MSE, we often talk about our double bottom line: building a strong, growing enterprise while helping our community thrive. Partnerships like this are where that commitment becomes real. Grateful to everyone at DCCK for their work every day, and proud of our MSE team for continuing to show up in our community.

I’ve been doing this job of caring for homeless AMERICANS for 33 years too at @dcck ….all are inclusive and can be done at the same time…🫶🏻

#MemberSpotlight: The Trae Young Family Foundation donated $50,000 to @dcck, supporting its mission to use food as a tool for community building, job training, and hunger relief in Washington, D.C. Learn more at NBA. nba.com/wizards/news/t…

The @dcck is a robust non-profit that's been around for 36 years providing distinguished culinary job training while providing free meals for the disadvantaged. Yesterday, our staff got to volunteer their time and efforts there in support of their day's food prep. We believe volunteering as an organization is a great way to build staff cohesiveness while giving back. Bonus when it's in support of a cause in the ag or food systems space!

April marked continued momentum across @MSE. 📈 @TheTraeYoung and his foundation committed $100K to @dccapscholars and @DCCK, reinforcing the impact sports and athletes can make on our communities. We launched EquipHER with the @WashMystics and @dcpublicschools to provide essential athletic gear to D.C. athletes and help more girls stay in the game. We also welcomed @doriancraft as the new lead voice of Mystics basketball and are building toward a new season following the @WNBA Draft. Real progress is taking place across our community, platforms, and teams – all centered on delivering for our fans. I’m excited for what’s ahead!

Team OAG marked National Volunteer Month with our friends at DC Central Kitchen. Thank you for always looking out for our neighbors, @dcck! 📦
