DC Central Kitchen (DCCK) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and social enterprise that combats hunger and poverty through job training and job creation. 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 fast-casual cafes throughout the District of Columbia. DC Central Kitchen volunteers work alongside our devoted front-line staff and Culinary Job Training students to cut, chop, peel, and prep fresh produce as we prepare balanced meals for our community. Volunteer shifts are available for registration up to 3 months in advance. No cooking or food service experience required!
Each volunteer will need to create a profile and digitally sign a General Liability and Waiver form within our Volunteer Portal in order to get registered for a shift. https://dcck.appianportals.com/dcck-volunteer-registration
