DC Central Kitchen - June 23rd, 2010

DC Central Kitchen definitely put us to work. When we got there, we were scooped up and thrown into the kitchen with a ton of enthusiastic volunteers. The people there work SO hard, and they don't mess around! We were all split up - Mike washed dishes, Dabbo snapped green beans, and I learned how to cut cabbage from the head of the kitchen - Dorothy. She was amazing - she had a way she wanted things done and would not settle for anything less. She is certainly the spirit of the kitchen and keeps things in order!

DC Central is an awesome place. They salvage food from local restaurants, farmers, caterers, you name it, and create meals for local shelters. Aside from this, DC Central has a program for people that may have been incarcerated or on the street to learn how to cook. They are trained within the kitchen, and eventually go on to be employed by the kitchen or other local places. It's a completely proactive program, and we were really humbled by it.
