About us
DC Central Kitchen (DCCK) is an iconic nonprofit and social enterprise that combats hunger and poverty through job training and job creation. The organization provides hands-on culinary job training for individuals facing high barriers to employment while creating living wage jobs and bringing nutritious, dignified food where it is most needed. DCCK’s social ventures include serving scratch-cooked farm-to-school meals in DC schools, delivering fresh, affordable produce to corner stores in neighborhoods without supermarkets, and operating fast-casual cafes in the District of Columbia.

Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of joining our friends from Instacart to support the White House's Hallo-READ trick or treat event on the fabled South Lawn. We were also thrilled to work with the International Fresh Produce Association to recover pumpkins & apples from the event to incorporate into nutritious, delicious meals for our community. Read about the event on our blog at https://lnkd.in/eq5MJc3K. #hungerfighters #partnerships #foodrecovery
