Many thanks to the following organization for their generous sponsorship of Be The Change 2008 DC. DC Central Kitchen is one of the most innovative anti-hunger programs in the country. Based in Washington D.C., the non-profit was founded on the premise that when fighting poverty, one must fight to win by using every resource available. Since it's inception, DCCK has used the kitchen as a central location to recover unused food, prepare and deliver meals to social service agencies, train and employ homeless men and women for the food service industry, and intellectually engage volunteers. As a community kitchen, they recycle over one ton of surplus food everyday and turn it into 4,000 meals for the hungry; 7 days a week, 365 days a year. DC Central Kitchen uses the existing ingredients of our society to strengthen bodies, empower minds and build communities. In that vein, they have graciously volunteered to cater (yes, cater) this year's Be the Change event! Check out their website at www.dccentralkitchen.org. Though they are a non-profit, they have an amazing catering service, from which all of the proceeds go to support the Kitchen's charitable programs. |
