2023 Annual Impact Report

DC Central Kitchen presents our latest annual report. We’re here to share what we have accomplished together and what we are committed to take on with your support in the years to come.

Our Programs

Since 1989, DC Central Kitchen has taken on the root causes of hunger and poverty in Washington, DC. We have disrupted the traditional approach of food banks and soup kitchens by developing award-winning, job-creating interventions that create economic opportunity and bring healthy food where it is most needed. Our social enterprise programs include:

Preparing adults and young adults facing barriers to employment through culinary careers.

Serving award-winning farm-to-school menus at DC public, private and charter schools.

Transforming corner stores into access points for healthy, affordable food.

Preparing nutritious meals for nonprofits, youth programs, and shelters.

Featuring fresh food made with love by DC Central Kitchen Staff and students.
