Hord Coplan Macht DC Metro is Supporting DCCK

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 a fast-casual café.

 DC Central Kitchen’s life-changing solutions to hunger and poverty are critical in normal times. But in response to COVID-19, our work became a lifeline for DC’s children, seniors, and families. Since March, our COVID-19 response efforts have included providing 2.7 million meals and grocery bags of fresh produce to those in need, particularly children who typically rely on meals at school, older adults, and our Culinary Job Training students whose training was disrupted by this crisis.
