This summer we’re serving high-quality, scratch-cooked meals to students on break throughout Washington, DC.
DC Central Kitchen is the food service provider for 30 schools in Washington, DC. We source ingredients from more than 30 local family farms and every meal is scratch-cooked from recipes designed by our expert team of chefs and dietitians. We fight hunger differently by providing the high-quality nutrition kids relying on school meals need to learn and grow while sustaining meaningful, living-wage careers for adults who have completed our Culinary Job Training program and overcome barriers to employment.
In addition to providing meals, we offer engaging cooking demonstrations, taste tests, and nutrition education lessons for the students and staff at the schools we serve.
