Support DCCK’s COVID-19 Response Efforts

DC Central Kitchen’s life-changing solutions to hunger and poverty are critical in normal times. But in response to COVID-19, DC Central Kitchen has become a lifeline for our city’s children, seniors, and families. We are serving more than 40,000 emergency meals each week at dozens of sites across the city, keeping healthy food on the shelves of corner stores, and supporting Culinary Job Training students whose training and careers have been disrupted by this crisis. COVID-19 has also forced the cancellation of DCCK’s annual Hungry for Change fundraising breakfast, which was expected to raise $100,000 in essential program funds on May 7. Together, we can help close this funding gap as DC Central Kitchen expands its emergency response services to keep pace with our city’s needs.

A gift today will go right to good use in this crisis:

• $240= Provide groceries to a family of four for 12 weeks during this crisis
• $490= Serve breakfast and lunch to 65 children who would otherwise count on school meals
• $1,140= Provide case management, groceries, and toiletries to a DCCK culinary student whose training was interrupted by this crisis
• $4,500= Provide a week's worth of meals to 200 home-bound older adults
• $10,000= Provide a job training scholarship for a new culinary student when COVID-19 has passed
