It’s hard to say how important programs like DC Central Kitchen are to the District. There’s just so many aspects to it that carry such incredible value – is it their programs providing meals for homeless shelters? their programs working with school nutrition? providing produce to markets in food deserts?
Chief among the programs that DCCK champions is their job training program, that takes people that need a second chance, and train them to work in commercial kitchens all over this city. The Liberation is a Kickstarter project that will follow one class through the 14 weeks of training through to getting their jobs. They’ve got about four days left, and they need your help to make their goal.
Contributions over $50 will be tax deductible, as well, as the Big Sky Film Institute is a 501c3 non-profit.
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
