Team ROI recently had the opportunity to volunteer at DC Central Kitchen on December 16, 2024, joining hands to prepare meals for those in need. The team, including Jack Dalby, Tina Ashkouri, Sean Causley, Carolyn Belefski, and myself, engaged in a fulfilling experience contributing to DC Central Kitchen's impactful mission.
DC Central Kitchen, spearheaded by visionary leaders like founder Robert Egger and current CEO Mike Curtin, stands as a beacon of hope for the less fortunate in our community. What started as a noble initiative to repurpose surplus food into nourishing meals for the homeless has blossomed into a comprehensive program offering culinary job training and career opportunities to those in need. The organization's commitment to feeding the hungry and empowering individuals through hospitality industry skill-building is inspirational.
During our time at DC Central Kitchen, we immersed ourselves in tasks like preparing generous portions of chicken breasts, a small yet meaningful gesture that resonated deeply with us. The sense of fulfillment in directly contributing to DCCK's cause was profound, reminding us of the importance of giving back to our community.
If your team is seeking a rewarding volunteer experience, I encourage you to explore opportunities with DC Central Kitchen at DCCK.org. Join us in making a difference and supporting this remarkable organization dedicated to serving those in need.
