Sign up for our DMV Co-op Community Volunteer Day at DC Central Kitchen

NCBA is excited to host a DMV Co-op Community Volunteer Day at DC Central Kitchen (DCCK) on Thursday, March 26! We'll help DCCK prep meals for our neighbors and put our Cooperative Principle 7, "concern for community," into action.

DC Central Kitchen is an iconic nonprofit and social enterprise that combats hunger and poverty through job training and job creation. The organization provides hands-on culinary job training for individuals facing high barriers to employment while creating living wage jobs and bringing nutritious, dignified food where it is most needed. DCCK's social ventures include serving scratch-cooked farm-to-school meals in DC schools, delivering fresh, affordable produce to corner stores in neighborhoods without supermarkets, and operating fast-casual cafes throughout the District of Columbia.

Where: Klein Center, 2121 First ST SW, Washington, DC 20024

When: Thursday, March 26 from 9 a.m.-noon or 2-4 p.m. Our goal is to fill 60 volunteer slots on March 26-30 volunteers per meal prep shift.
