2024 Thanksgiving Food Donations

DC Central Kitchen
Thanksgiving Food Donations banner

We appreciate that there is an interest in donating food during the holiday season. Due to the nature of our programming & how we’re structured, DC Central Kitchen will not be accepting “food drive” donations this season; however, we are accepting WHOLE FROZEN TURKEYS. If you’re interested in donating turkeys, please email our Food Recovery team.

If you are looking to organize a more traditional food drive, we highly encourage you to reach out to one of the following amazing organizations who are accepting donations this season:
