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 />

Whitt M<strong>as</strong>ters and Bo Sims, Farmers Co-op Shift Kitchen Supervisor and CJT graduate in 2004, display vacuum-sealed donated produce<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 />

Mike Curtin, Jr., CEO at <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Kitchen


20<br />

years<br />

of combating hunger and<br />

creating opportunity<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 />

Recognizing that thousands of school-b<strong>as</strong>ed<br />

cafeteria kitchens sit idle at various times,<br />

<strong>DC</strong>CK opens its first Campus Kitchen at<br />

Saint Louis University.<br />

By taking the volunteer experience to the volunteers, <strong>DC</strong>CK<br />

again challenges the status quo of traditional charity while<br />

inviting students to explore how their major can become<br />

their philanthropy.<br />

2004<br />

Robert Egger’s book Begging <strong>for</strong> Change<br />

is published. It went on to win the 2005<br />

McAdam Book Award <strong>for</strong> Best Nonprofit<br />

Management Book.<br />

Founder Robert Egger chronicles his 15 years of<br />

experience to convey simple, logical examples of<br />

what nonprofits not only can, but must do to<br />

achieve greater results.<br />

are e<strong>as</strong>ily adaptable to speed the successful<br />

implementation of new initiatives.<br />

The Kitchen launches the national V3 Campaign to<br />

ensure that Voice, Value and Votes are recognized<br />

in every election in America.<br />

The Kitchen firmly establishes itself, locally and<br />

nationally, <strong>as</strong> a leader in a new national dialogue<br />

about the role of nonprofits, volunteers, existing<br />

resources and philanthropy.<br />

First<br />

Helping<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 />

Ms. Helen, First Helping client<br />

First Helping addresses<br />

and placed nearly 115 clients in stable housing.<br />

Healthy<br />

Returns<br />

learning to eat well<br />

Dahlia Rockowitz, Healthy Returns<br />

Coordinator and Nutrition Educator, came<br />

to <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Kitchen through Avodah – the<br />

Jewish Service Corps – a partnership that<br />

helps us put <strong>you</strong>ng volunteers in a position<br />

to lead change in our community. Dahlia<br />

teaches nutrition lessons at 30 of our partner<br />

agencies to people ranging from 6 to 60 years<br />

old. Younger students learn about healthy<br />

snacking by making smoothies and playing<br />

food-pyramid Twister. Older clients learn<br />

about shopping on a budget, making healthy<br />

choices at restaurants and<br />

understanding nutrition labels.<br />

W<strong>as</strong>hington Youth Garden participants learn about nutrition <strong>as</strong> they grow and harvest their <strong>own</strong> produce.<br />

A portion of their harvest is donated to the Kitchen.<br />

“ Clients leave their Healthy Returns cl<strong>as</strong>ses feeling<br />

empowered <strong>with</strong> knowledge, energetic about making<br />

healthy choices and eager <strong>for</strong> more in<strong>for</strong>mation. The<br />

program h<strong>as</strong> been a huge <strong>as</strong>set to our small staff.<strong>”</strong><br />

Christine J. Stratton, Activities Coordinator at Rachael’s Women’s Center<br />

Our Healthy Returns program brings well-balanced and kid-friendly<br />

meals and snacks to nonprofit agencies serving low-income and at-risk<br />

<strong>you</strong>th throughout the <strong>DC</strong> metropolitan area. In 2008, Healthy Returns<br />

served a total of 100,000 snacks to 45 afterschool programs, totaling<br />

14,000 more snacks than l<strong>as</strong>t year - a 17% incre<strong>as</strong>e!<br />

fresh & local<br />

Over 15 crop gleaning trips to<br />

Miller Farm and Butler’s Orchard allowed<br />

400 volunteers to pick more than 10,000<br />

pounds of surplus crops. Gleaning<br />

volunteers receive an orientation explaining<br />

how picking surplus crops from local<br />

farms fits into our mission of reducing<br />

w<strong>as</strong>te. On one trip, the entire sixth grade<br />

at Georget<strong>own</strong> Day School picked 2,000<br />

pounds of eggplant, a vegetable that<br />

broadened the horizons of our culinary<br />

staff <strong>as</strong> they created eggplant ratatouille.<br />

Capital Area Food Bank and Clagett<br />

Farm provided <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Kitchen <strong>with</strong><br />

3,000 pounds of chemical-free produce,<br />

including bok choy, heirloom tomatoes and<br />

fresh herbs. Clagett Farm is a new local<br />

partner only 15 miles from d<strong>own</strong>t<strong>own</strong> <strong>DC</strong>.<br />

Longtime partner Grace Calloway of<br />

Heaven’s Grocery Store donated<br />

more than 45,000 pounds of food,<br />

including cheese, milk and bacon.<br />

The Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership conference picked 100 bags of collards and kale from Miller Farm in Clinton, MD<br />

“ The introduction of the Co-op shift and crop gleaning h<strong>as</strong><br />

allowed kitchen staff and volunteers to participate in all stages<br />

of meal production from start to finish, from the fields to the<br />

completed meal. Nothing is w<strong>as</strong>ted; the crops, the money<br />

and the human potential are all put to full use.<strong>”</strong><br />

Jamie Schuman, Manager of Partner Relations at <strong>DC</strong> <strong>Central</strong> Kitchen<br />

The Kitchen offers a special<br />

thanks to our largest food donor,<br />

the Capital Area Food Bank.<br />

This p<strong>as</strong>t year, we received 751,523 pounds of<br />

donated food from farms, restaurants, hotels and other<br />

local food-service organizations. That’s a 22%<br />

incre<strong>as</strong>e from 2007, the bulk of which w<strong>as</strong> made<br />

possible by new local vendors, energetic evening<br />

volunteers and fresh produce gleaned straight from the<br />

farm. In all, we got 189,873 pounds of fresh donated<br />

produce in 2008 - a 136% incre<strong>as</strong>e.

life of our clients rather than devote time or funds towards<br />

meal preparation.<strong>”</strong><br />

Mone’t Dupree, Prevention Manager at Transgender Health Empowerment, Inc.<br />

L<strong>as</strong>t year, <strong>DC</strong>CK served 1.75 million nutritous meals to our 100<br />

Co-op volunteers spend nine hours<br />

per week prepping fruits and vegetables,<br />

providing us <strong>with</strong> the capacity to accept<br />

more fresh food donations. Chopped<br />

green peppers, collards, kale, squ<strong>as</strong>h,<br />

potatoes and carrots are vacuum-sealed<br />

by volunteers, frozen and used to create<br />

healthy meals all year round. The health<br />

and financial impact of the Co-op shift is<br />

particularly evident in that we now serve<br />

freshly chopped, se<strong>as</strong>oned and ro<strong>as</strong>ted<br />

white and sweet potatoes in<br />

place of tater tots!<br />

New local partners, such <strong>as</strong> Prime<br />

Foods b<strong>as</strong>ed in Hyattsville, MD, donate<br />

chicken bones, which are used to make 25<br />

gallons of chicken stock each week,<br />

allowing us to spend less on prepared stock<br />

and serve meals lower in sodium.<br />

The Co-op shift is a new program that helps sustain<br />

local farmers, provides more nutritious meals<br />

to our clients and engages a new group of evening<br />

purch<strong>as</strong>ed from local farmers is prepped by volunteers<br />

and then either utilized immediately in meals or<br />

vacuum-sealed <strong>for</strong> low produce generating months.
