DC Central KitchenAnnual Impact Report

Fiscal Year 2017

We believe that hunger is a symptom of the deeper problem of poverty, and food is our tool for changing lives and addressing systemic failures.

OUR THEORY OF CHANGE:

We’re preparing adults with high barriers to employment – histories of incarceration, addiction, homelessness, abuse, and trauma – for careers in the culinary industry.

We’re transforming food that would otherwise be wasted into nutritious meals for local shelters and nonprofits.

We’re serving award-winning, farm-to-school menus to DC students while creating living-wage careers for previously unemployed adults who have completed our training program.

We’re expanding healthy food access by making affordable, nutritious food available for sale in corner stores in DC’s food deserts.

We’re empowering the next generation of leaders to fight hunger and food waste. At Campus Kitchens across the country, students transform surplus food into healthy meals.

87% job placement rate among our graduates

85% of our graduates retained employment one year post- graduation

98% of students and alumni with our national arm, The Campus Kitchens Project, felt the leadership skills they acquired will make them more likely to land a job

Walking for food accessWe participated as a Planning Partner in the first-ever Grocery Walk highlighting the ‘grocery gap’ in DC’s Ward 8. Led by our friends at DC Greens, the event drew over 500 residents to rally around this cause.

EXPAND HEALTHyFOOD ACCESSWe believe in building a more equitable food system for all.

360,200 meals delivered across the country through The Campus Kitchens Project

CHRONIC DISEASE AND CHILDHOOD OBESITYWe started an in-classroom initiative, “Cafeteria Chefs,” where students learn about and prepare healthy recipes they see on the lunch line. Consumption of salad greens among students we reached increased by 466%.

TEST INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS TO SYSTEMIC FAILURESWe believe long-standing problemsrequire new solutions.

MASS INCARCERATIONOur graduates with histories of incarceration were 91% less likely to re-offend when compared to the national average for returning citizens. Just this year, our efforts to put people back to work and break the cycle of incarceration saved taxpayers $1.2 million.

FOOD WASTEWe advocated for the “Save Good Food Act,” local legislation to decrease food waste in Washington, DC.

FOOD DESERTSWe conducted our first-ever geo-targeted marketing campaign for Healthy Corners, advertising on metro stations and bus lines in DC’s Ward 8. This campaign increased sales at targeted stores by as much as 96%.

MEDIA AND ACCOLADES“Institutional Leader Award”Recognized by Local Food Hub, a regional agriculture nonprofit that partners with Virginia farmers to increase access to local food.

“HEALTHY 10 AWARD”Presented by the US Chamber of Commerce Foundation and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, recognizing the public impact of our Healthy Corners venture.

Our long-time Culinary Job Training Director, Marianne Ali, was recognized by the Council of the District of Columbia with a ceremonial proclamation honoring her two decades of service and significant contributions to our life-changing job training program. Her passing in August was memorialized at an event with José Andrés, Carla Hall, Robert Egger, and hundreds of her former students.

MEET CHRIS

Chris arrived at DC Central Kitchen after serving a 14-year prison sentence and struggling with a history of abuse. “For a long time, I didn’t like who I was, and I hid from the truth,” he explains.

After completing our training program, Chris joined our team full-time at DC Central Kitchen’s social enterprise hub. Within a year, he saved up enough money to take his first vacation to reunite with his family in Hawaii. Since then, he has moved into his own apartment and taken on the additional role of resident manager of his building. “Today, I have no shame of my truth,” he says.

MEET ALIYAH

Although 19-year-old Aliyah had overcome significant challenges before coming to DC Central Kitchen, she was still struggling to secure reliable employment and achieve financial stability. “My life was in completely shattered pieces,” she recalls. Aliyah was ready for a change but lacked the training she needed to enter the workforce. After graduating from DC Central Kitchen, Aliyah was hired full-time at Marriott Marquis as the youngest employee on the team. She now has a promising career ahead of her and the financial means to support herself and rent her own apartment. “I wouldn’t be here without DC Central Kitchen,” she says.
