2012 DC CENTRAL KITCHEN ANNUAL REPORT
FROM THE CEO: MICHAEL F. CURTIN, JR.
economy as our graduates earn salaries, pay taxes, and
provide for their families. That’s good business.
2012 was a year of significant change at DC Central Kitchen.
After more than 25 dedicated years, our founder, Robert
Egger, returned to his boyhood home of Southern California
to establish the L.A. Kitchen. While Robert takes his mission
westward, his philosophy and vision will always be part of
what we do and who we are. One of his signature catchphrases, “Good business,” very succinctly captures all that we try to
do here at the Kitchen.
Yes, combating hunger and creating opportunity can be
described as the “right” or “good” thing to do—but it’s so
much more than that. What we do here at DCCK is also the
“smart” thing. Simply put, it’s good business.
Like any good business, we can measure much of what we do
in dollars and cents. On average, each of our incoming Culinary Job Training classes of 25 students has cost the community up to $7 million in incarceration, supervised release,
halfway houses, and recovery programs before they walk
into our basement kitchen. By contrast, we spend less than
$200,000 training that same group of individuals for meaningful employment. Nationally, more than 60% of people who go
to prison once will re-offend and return to prison—primarily
because they cannot find a job. For our graduates, that rate
is less than 2%. By keeping people out of prison and in the
workforce, we are saving the community millions of dollars
each year. What’s more, we’re putting more money into the
2012 marked the first full year of operation in our newest
production facility, the Nutrition Lab. This space has allowed
us to turn our locally-sourced, scratch-cooked school meals
into a profitable business, generating over $3.5 million in
yearly revenue and creating almost 70 jobs, most of which
are held by graduates of our Culinary Job Training program.
That’s good business.
We also refined Healthy Corners, our program that delivers
fresh fruits and vegetables to corner stores in DC’s “food
deserts.” Study after study has found that bringing affordable,
healthy food to urban corner stores would be a powerful
weapon against obesity and poor health. But no one has
found a way to actually do it—until now. Blending social
enterprise and philanthropy, our method not only works in
DC, but can and will be replicated in cities across the country.
A DCCK culinary graduate employed by Healthy Corners
recently said, “I used to deal drugs in front of these same
stores, just taking and hurting the community. Now I’m
bringing these neighborhoods healthy food, and that makes
me feel good.” That’s really good business.
We learned a lot in 2012. In 2013 we will use these experiences to expand affordable access to healthy food in our
community. While you read this report, we hope that you will
share our excitement for what lies ahead and, once again, join
us as we continue to Feed the Soul of the City.

CULINARY JOB TRAINING
GOOD
Chef Rock Harper, winner of season 3 of Fox’s
Hell’s Kitchen, is part of CJT’s robust team of
culinary instructors and support staff.
We transformed a corner of our
bustling kitchen into a state-ofthe-art culinary training classroom. With smaller classes and
intensive hands-on lessons from
our expert instructors, students
now receive more personalized
education and are better prepared for the first day of their
new jobs.
85
%
Our graduates achieved an 85% job placement rate in 2012.
73
In 2012, 73 men and women
completed the job training
program.
BUSINESS
The Culinary Job Training (CJT)
program equips men and women
with the knife skills and life skills
they need to move out of the
unemployment line and into jobs.
Instead of relying on taxpayers,
graduates become them, earning
salaries, paying rent, and
supporting their families.
1,560,000
1,090,544
$
$
In 2011, our community spent
$1,560,000 per year incarcerating
the individuals who went on to
enroll in CJT in 2012.
2011 CJT graduates earned
$1,090,544 in wages in 2012.
FIRST HELPING
GOOD
First Helping’s mobile outreach
team offers healthy, balanced
meals to kick-start conversations
between our outreach workers
and chronically homeless men and
women. Connections that start
with a hot cup of coffee help set
our clients on the path to recovery
with housing, health interventions,
and social services.
180
Each morning our team serves
180 balanced meals to chronically
homeless men and women.
59
Our outreach team referred 59
clients to stable housing in 2012.
Outreach Specialist James Weeks, a graduate of
CJT Class 74, piloted the Employment Guide in
2012 to provide employment support and
referrals tailored to the needs of each individual.
BUSINESS
In 2012, First Helping implemented
a refined recruitment and screening process that allows our outreach specialists to better identify
suitable workforce development
opportunities for First Helping
clients, including our Culinary Job
Training program.
5
We successfully guided 5 First
Helping clients through our CJT
program in 2012.
149
With the implementation of an
employment guide, 149 individuals received tailored employment
referrals in 2012.
MEAL DISTRIBUTION
GOOD
Each year, 12,000 volunteers
come from around the globe
to visit our basement kitchen.
Students, faith-based groups,
companies, and families come to
us with the intention of making
meals, and leave with new ideas
about homelessness, joblessness,
incarceration, and the power of
community.
36,000
12,000
Volunteers logged 36,000 hours in
our kitchens in 2012.
12,000 men and women donated
their time and energy in 2012,
making our meal delivery
possible.
BUSINESS
Dawain Arrington (left), Kitchen Supervisor
and CJT alumnus, and Tim Miller (right),
Director of Kitchen Operations, collaborate
to make the most of volunteers’ time and
donated food every day.
Every day we transform 3,000
pounds of leftover food into 5,000
balanced, nutritious meals. By
giving our meals away at little
or no cost to our partner nonprofits, we save area shelters,
addiction treatment centers, and
after-school programs millions in
food and personnel costs.
3,600,000
$
Our meals saved area nonprofits
$3.6 million in 2012.
87
87 shelters, addiction treatment
centers, and after-school programs
in the DC area received our meals
in 2012.
FOOD RECOVERY
Despite so many people struggling to access nutritious food,
our nation needlessly allows half
our fresh fruits and vegetables to
spoil in the front end of our “food
stream.” Our produce recovery
partnerships with farms and
wholesalers allow us to stop food
waste before it starts.
GOOD
165 billion 320,000
$
Americans throw away a staggering $165 billion worth of food
every year.
The Nutrition Lab facilitated the
recovery of 320,000 pounds of food
that otherwise would have gone to
waste in 2012.
Stephen Kendall, Procurement Manager,
coordinates all of the Kitchen’s purchased and
donated food.
BUSINESS
Our second kitchen facility, the
Nutrition Lab, dramatically expanded our capacity to process
and store fresh, local fruits,
vegetables, and protein. Our bulk
purchasing discounts and food recovery activities help us make the
most of our donors’ dollars.
53
%
With increased capacity to handle
more product, the amount of
donated local protein we could
accept increased 53% over 2011.
10
¢
With greater capacity for storage
and processing, our cost per
pound of food dropped from $.83/lb
in 2010 to $.73/lb in 2012.
SCHOOL FOOD
Our innovative, wraparound
approach to fighting childhood
obesity starts with healthy school
meals. We’re dishing up hearty
nutrition by the plateful to 2,100
students in economically
marginalized DC neighborhoods
5 days a week.
GOOD
4,800
In 2012, we served 4,800 wholesome meals every day to children
in low-income DC neighborhoods.
30
%
Of all the ingredients used in
school meals in 2012, 30% were
locally sourced.
BUSINESS
Over the past two years, we’ve purchased over
$80,000 in produce from third-generation
farmer Derek Kilmer in Inwood, West Virginia.
In 2012, a smarter, more streamlined approach to purchasing food
allowed us to buy directly from local farmers, connecting them with
a growing urban consumer base
and increasing our local economic
impact.
156,523
$
In 2012 we invested $156,523 in
our local economy by purchasing produce and meat from area
farmers.
22
%
We increased the total poundage
of locally sourced food by 22%
from 2011.
FRESH START CATERING
GOOD
As a full-service catering company, Fresh Start’s tasty menus
measure up with our peers, but
we serve more than savory dishes. As a mission-driven entrepreneurial venture, Fresh Start
is staffed by our own Culinary
Job Training program graduates,
where they earn living wages and
full benefits.
37
We employed 37 Culinary Job
Training graduates in our social
enterprise operations like Fresh
Start in 2012.
100

community impact.
64
%
64% of our operating revenue was
earned through social enterprise
ventures like Fresh Start.
274
Fresh Start catered 274 events
in 2012.
HEALTHY CORNERS
GOOD
Healthy Corners is shattering the
baseless assumption that lowincome individuals will not buy
healthy food. The program has seen
increased participation and profits at
29 partner corner stores that purchase our fresh produce and healthy
snacks and sell them to children,
adults, and families looking for
affordable, nutritious options.
66
%
Customer demand led to a 66%
increase in items offered in
Healthy Corners stores in 2012.
33,000
$
In 2012 Healthy Corners stores
sold $33,000 worth of fresh
produce.
BUSINESS
Healthy Corners is proof that
results-oriented public-private partnerships can stimulate
dynamic new projects. After a
start-up grant from the District
of Columbia, Healthy Corners is
now an innovative blend of social
enterprise and philanthropy.
33

In the introductory phase of the
program in January 2012, store
owners bought produce at 33% of
its wholesale price.
100
%
By December 2012 when the
program was fully implemented,
store owners bought produce at
100% of wholesale price.
CAMPUS KITCHENS PROJECT
GOOD
Our resourceful approach to
fighting hunger harnesses student energy in campus kitchens
across the country, preventing the
waste of 408,000 pounds of food in
2012 while providing free meals to
110 under-resourced nonprofits
across America.
5,424
252,672

student participants say their CKP
experiences have changed their
career path.

ROBERT EGGER: A FAREWELL TRIBUTE
1989
Frustrated by food waste and bandaid solutions
to Washington’s big challenges of hunger and homelessness,
30-year-old Robert Egger quits his job as a restaurant manager and
founds DC Central Kitchen. He starts in January 1989 with one van to
recover food from the city’s inauguration parties.
When I drove out on a cold
night in January 1989 on DC
Central Kitchen’s first food
pickup (fittingly, from inaugural events), I could hardly
have anticipated how long
the journey would be.
1996
President Clinton signs into
law the Good Samaritan Food
Donation Act that Robert helped
move forward to protect food
donors against liability.
What started as a vision to recycle the food our society wasted as a
means to empower the people we undervalued has grown far beyond
what this starry-eyed dreamer could have ever imagined.
The last 24 years has been a long, joyful voyage of discovery. Along with
a staggering roster of great colleagues, DC Central Kitchen has helped
reveal how rich our city truly is, how much each person has to offer,
and the amazing power of food to nourish the body, lift the spirit, and
strengthen the community. But these were not random revelations...we
set out to shatter stereotypes, including what role a “non” profit could
2001
Robert goes national with the launch of
the Campus Kitchens Project, a nationwide food recovery model using school
cafeterias, and he appears on Oprah to
receive the Oprah Angel Network’s Use
Your Life Award.
2013
Hundreds of friends gather at a farewell tribute in January
2013 to celebrate Robert’s leadership in the Washington, DC
community and wish him well as he starts L.A. Kitchen in
California.
2004
Robert writes Begging for Change:
The Dollars and Sense of Making

and Rewarding for All in 2004 in

nation’s nonprofit sector.
play in the economy. And that’s one of the reasons I am honored to pen
this farewell in our annual report, where the full gamut of our work is
displayed.
While my journey now veers west, to Los Angeles, where I will soon open
the L.A. Kitchen to pioneer new ways to enrich and include our elders,
I leave behind a strong, vital organization – ably led by a dynamic team
and engaged board, and supported by a city that I love more than words
can say. So, rather than say good-bye...let me just say thanks, rock on,
and I’ll see you down the road.
