It was a record-setting 35th year at DC Central Kitchen! We surpassed 50 million meals served in our history while providing more meals than ever before over the summer and the Thanksgiving holiday.
Healthy Corners sold more than 460,000 units of fresh and frozen produce at 58 corner stores. Healthy School Food now serves our signature scratch-cooked meals to nearly 7,000 students at 30 DC schools with a 91% student satisfaction rating! 178 individuals have completed the Culinary Job Training program of fiscal year 2024 with a 90% job placement rate. All of this led to $130 million in local economic impact! And more than 19,000 volunteers, including Vice President Harris, the Second Gentleman and their family, have donated their valuable time to help us never miss a meal.
