Dc Central Kitchen, Inc.

DC Central Kitchen turns leftover food into millions of meals for thousands of at-risk individuals while offering nationally recognized culinary job training to once homeless and hungry adults.


First, we provide breakfast, outreach, and counseling services to chronically homeless people living on the streets.



Next we recycle 3,000 pounds of food each day, converting it into 4,500 meals we distribute to 100 shelters, transitional homes, and rehabilitation clinics throughout the DC area. These partner agencies then refer clients to our Culinary Job Training program, where they receive the tools to start new careers.


First Helping is our street-level outreach program that uses food as a tool to establish trust and build relationships with homeless and low-income individuals. Our goal is to empower people to begin addressing the complex issues at the heart of their personal challenges.
