Combating Hunger<br />
Creating Opportunity
Feeding the<br />
Soul of the city<br />
In 2009, we mark our 20th<br />
anniversary. While milestones of this<br />
nature are often celebrated, we are taking a<br />
different approach. Let’s be honest, what is<br />
there to celebrate about the fact that after<br />
20 years, there are still people who are<br />
hungry and disenfranchised?<br />
As we reflect on where we are and how<br />
far we have come, we need to do so <strong>with</strong> a<br />
critical eye to the future, looking through<br />
the lens of experience two decades in the<br />
making. We need to evaluate what h<strong>as</strong> made<br />
the Kitchen the nonprofit leader, model and<br />
innovator that it is, ensuring that we remain<br />
just that <strong>as</strong> we move <strong>for</strong>ward and<br />
lead the charge <strong>for</strong> economic empowerment,<br />
inclusion and liberation.<br />
Over the years, we have very purposefully<br />
operated on multiple levels simultaneously.<br />
We don’t simply feed, we empower our<br />
partners by requiring them to reinvest<br />
the money we save them to improve their<br />
programs and services. We don’t simply<br />
teach culinary skills, we work on the skills<br />
that will allow our graduates to keep<br />
their jobs and grow in them. Our Campus<br />
Kitchens are <strong>as</strong> much about teaching<br />
leadership to <strong>you</strong>ng volunteers <strong>as</strong> they are<br />
about helping to fill holes in community<br />
food systems. Our catering operation is<br />
<strong>as</strong> much about showing a new model of<br />
philanthropy <strong>as</strong> it is about generating<br />
revenue and employing our graduates. And<br />
our new Farmers Cooperative is <strong>as</strong> much<br />
about creating local economic sustainability<br />
and getting healthier food to the<br />
community <strong>as</strong> it is about sourcing<br />
more af<strong>for</strong>dable food.<br />
This year we sought to bring a<br />
higher level of transparency to<br />
our operation and organization.<br />
We’ve posted in<strong>for</strong>mation on our<br />
website about salaries, benefits<br />
and staff and board make up.<br />
(dccentralkitchen.org/raw-ingredients)<br />
We also served <strong>as</strong> a pilot <strong>for</strong> a new<br />
online tool called Great Nonprofits<br />
where volunteers can rate their<br />
experience <strong>with</strong> us and share<br />
unfiltered feedback.<br />
Finally, we have taken a bold leap<br />
to define a shared voice <strong>for</strong> all<br />
nonprofits. The new V3 Campaign<br />
inspires nonprofits around the<br />
country to engage politicians in<br />
a discussion about the role our<br />
industry plays and how they<br />
plan to work <strong>with</strong> the 10% of the<br />
American work<strong>for</strong>ce that is the<br />
nonprofit sector.<br />
All this considered together,<br />
constitutes what we are calling<br />
<strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Kitchen 2.0. Not a<br />
new vision, but the same one<br />
Robert Egger had twenty years<br />
ago when he founded <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong><br />
Kitchen <strong>with</strong> greater focus on<br />
sustainability, innovation and<br />
transparency <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> the larger<br />
dialogue and the role we play in<br />
that conversation.<br />
2008 w<strong>as</strong> a challenging year, and 2009 is certain to<br />
present more challenges. <strong>DC</strong>CK 2.0, however, positions<br />
us to turn these challenges into more opportunities <strong>for</strong><br />
progress and change. We hope <strong>you</strong> will join us on what<br />
certainly will be an extremely exciting ride.<br />

Sustaining<br />
the<br />
Soul of the city<br />
When describing <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong><br />
Kitchen, people often use the old<br />
proverb, “Give someone a fish, feed them <strong>for</strong><br />
a day. Teach someone to fish, feed them <strong>for</strong> a<br />
lifetime.<strong>”</strong> That’s worked pretty well so far;<br />
what we need to do now, however, is learn a<br />
whole new way to fish. One way we are doing<br />
this is through our Farmers Co-op.<br />
In 2008, we began to make agreements <strong>with</strong><br />
local farmers to purch<strong>as</strong>e their “seconds<strong>”</strong> or<br />
“uncl<strong>as</strong>sified<strong>”</strong> produce at a price where they<br />
can make money and we can save money.<br />
In turn, we can put high-quality, nutritional<br />
ingredients into our meals, engage more<br />
volunteers and hire more of our graduates<br />
to manage these extra shifts. In the second<br />
half of 2008 alone, we purch<strong>as</strong>ed over 17,000<br />
pounds of local produce via this mechanism<br />
that cost us 52% less than if we had<br />
purch<strong>as</strong>ed the same volume from<br />
a wholesaler.<br />
Volunteers work hard shucking fresh and locally procured corn<br />

“ Ultimately, we hope to shift the paradigm from the<br />
idea that nonprofits are charity, relying on handouts,<br />
to the idea that nonprofits are smart community<br />
businesses that can make their <strong>own</strong> money while<br />
empowering the entire community.<strong>”</strong><br />

1989<br />
<strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Kitchen begins serving the<br />
community by picking up 400 pounds of<br />
food from the Inaugural parties of<br />
President George H.W. Bush.<br />
By committing to using only existing resources,<br />
<strong>DC</strong>CK pioneers a new approach to combating<br />
hunger, homelessness and poverty.<br />
Through media coverage of the President’s<br />
donation, the Kitchen elevates the idea<br />
nationally, allowing other programs to<br />
benefit from our work.<br />
1991<br />
Robert Egger speaks at the Hotel School at<br />
Cornell University. Subsequently, students<br />
and faculty help develop a 12-week<br />
curriculum <strong>for</strong> a Culinary Job<br />
Training Program.<br />
As other cities replicate the Kitchen model, this<br />
curriculum becomes the national standard. By<br />
bringing students into the process, the Kitchen<br />
also opens a new discussion about the root<br />
causes of and solutions to the issues of hunger,<br />
homelessness and poverty.<br />
1993<br />
The Kitchen prepares 28,000<br />
saxophone-shaped almond butter<br />
cookies <strong>for</strong> the Inaugural parties<br />
of President Bill Clinton.<br />
No longer just collecting food, Culinary<br />
Job Training students are active<br />
participants in this Inaugural. National<br />
media attention begins to break d<strong>own</strong><br />
underlying stereotypes of the homeless<br />
by focusing on students’ skill and<br />
determination to succeed.<br />
1997<br />
The Kitchen launches<br />
Fresh Start Catering.<br />
The old model of charity is<br />
unsustainable; the Kitchen embarks<br />
on its first revenue generating social<br />
enterprise venture to expand training<br />
and employment opportunities<br />
while generating income <strong>for</strong><br />
the organization.<br />
Using a donated customized<br />
vehicle, the Kitchen launches its<br />
street-level outreach program,<br />
First Helping.<br />
Although our goal is to shorten the<br />
line by the way we feed it, the line<br />
continues to grow. Starting at the<br />
beginning, we meet individuals where<br />
they are to determine the services<br />
they need.<br />

a place to call home<br />
Ms. Helen’s husband had recently<br />
p<strong>as</strong>sed and <strong>as</strong> a result, her income at age<br />
62 depended upon a single social security<br />
check. By the end of the month, after<br />
paying all of her expenses, she did not<br />
have enough money <strong>for</strong> food.<br />
Early one morning, Ms. Helen saw a white<br />
<strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Kitchen First Helping Outreach<br />
truck on Minnesota Avenue serving<br />
breakf<strong>as</strong>t. She got in line <strong>for</strong> a sandwich,<br />
where she met Jeff Rustin, a <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong><br />
Kitchen outreach specialist.<br />
One month later, First Helping helped Ms.<br />
Helen secure senior housing and move into<br />
a new apartment that is more safe, peaceful<br />
and af<strong>for</strong>dable <strong>for</strong> her fixed income.<br />
“ God sent me an angel. I couldn’t do anything anymore and I<br />
w<strong>as</strong> scared to go outside. But now I have a lot of peace. I want<br />
to start an organization <strong>for</strong> senior citizens that have difficulty<br />
leaving the building. We can play Bingo...Ms. Helen’s Bingo!<strong>”</strong><br />
