From kitchen to community: DC Central Kitchen uses food to change lives
November 9, 2023
By Brock LaChapelle, ASU Sustainable Food Systems graduate student.
In May 2023, DC Central Kitchen welcomed our cohort from the ASU Sustainable Food Systems graduate program to their facility for a tour of their operation. Located in the LEED Certified RiverPoint development, this non-profit organization’s mission is to “use food as a tool to strengthen bodies, empower minds, and build communities.” They do this by providing culinary training, job placement, community/school meals, and an outreach program that supplies the demand for healthy produce in DC food deserts.
