Our greatest needs for food donations are raw protein and produce. These unprepared ingredients give our staff the most flexibility to create healthy, complete meals. Due to the volume of meals we produce and the specific nutritional standards we must follow, we cannot utilize prepared food donations (i.e., catering leftovers). Please contact our food recovery team to schedule a food donation delivery or pick-up. We know that food recovery can’t be done alone. For that reason, we are pleased to partner with other like-minded nonprofits who can utilize safe food items that we can’t. If you would like to donate prepared food, please contact Food Rescue US.

Email our fundraising team at giving@dccentralkitchen.org. You can also make a direct donation and find additional information on our donate page.

We work with restaurants, corporate partners, and individuals to help make your efforts a success. Please contact events@dccentralkitchen.org with questions.
