The Future of
Sustainability
Annual Report ‘09
Ray Lynn Showalter is founder and
owner of Mole Hill Gardens in Virginia’s
Shenandoah Valley. He grows lettuce
hydroponically in a greenhouse on land that
has sustained his family for generations.

85% of Ray’s business is wholesale and DC
Central Kitchen is his largest customer. The
remaining 15% goes to small restaurants in
Harrisonburg. The venue for the majority of
his sales is the Shenandoah Valley
Produce Auction.
Many faces of
sustainability
The word “sustainability” is a popular term these
days. We’ve taken a hard look at what that word
really means and how it specifically relates to our
community and our organization.
In 2009, we trained and found employment for 81
students of our Culinary Job Training program.
During the course of one year, these graduates will
contribute more than $250,000, in payroll taxes
alone, to our local economy. This does not include
the spin-off revenue these formerly unemployed
men and women will spend on rent, food, clothing,
and other goods and services for themselves and
their families. Instead of taking money out of
the “system,” these graduates are now putting
significant resources back into our community,
making it far more sustainable.
Our heavy investment in our Farm to Kitchen
program continues to have profound effects on
every aspect of our operation. By purchasing
produce, dairy, and protein locally from
independent farmers, we have:
local food system, combating the long-term and very
expensive diseases of diabetes, high blood pressure,
and obesity;
“The Shenandoah Valley can do a lot of
growing for cities in the area. This is a
source of employment for families, a source
of income, and I hope it will prove to be a
sustainable enterprise,” comments Ray as
his son helps Louis, DC Central Kitchen’s
Transportation Representative, load 43 boxes
of Romaine and Bibb lettuce onto the
DC Central Kitchen truck.
And dramatically cut the cost of purchasing food to
supplement what we cannot receive through donations.
In addition, this program has become a significant social
enterprise venture. We are now partnering with other food
service institutions who not only want to purchase locally,
but who want to be part of our mission not as charity but as
a business model.
Over the last several years, the Kitchen has worked very
hard to remind people that we are not simply a “charity”
but a business that has the social good as its number one
goal. One could argue, in fact, that the traditional charity,
the idea of giving that which is left over – food, clothing,
money – is, in and of itself, unsustainable. For this reason,
we continue to develop business and social enterprise
models to generate more revenue for our programs
while employing more of our graduates…that’s what
we call sustainable.

DC Central Kitchen was the link we needed to connect us to DC.
I hope that the work of the Kitchen
continues to spread and provide more
opportunity for small family farms like us.”
From June 1 – October 31, 2009,
we purchased 46% of our fresh produce
from local farms, putting $19,015 back
into the farming community.

This past fall, Ray Lynn and his family visited
the Kitchen to volunteer, prepping their very
own products. “My experience with the
Kitchen has been a blessing.
Created a revenue stream for local farmers
and growers that did not exist before;
Hired more graduates to supervise this work;
“People come to the auction because it
provides local products. The customer wants
to know us and we want to know them,”
concludes Ray. He views city schools and
hospitals as a market that could benefit from
local product. With this in mind, and because
of the significant business he does with the
Kitchen, he’s currently building a second
greenhouse to expand his production and
better coordinate his growing season with
the school year.

Covenant House is one of the largest
national, privately-funded childcare agencies
in the US, serving homeless and runaway
youth ages 18 – 21 years old. As one of 21
locations, Covenant House in Southeast DC
serves 5,000 youth every year.
DC Central Kitchen provides
Covenant House with
34,675 meals a year.
In addition to residential, employment, and
educational services, Covenant House has
an outreach program, which works to build
relationships with youth on the streets, so
when they are ready for change, help is there.
Meals from DC Central Kitchen are an
essential aspect of Covenant House
programming. Carlette Mack, Director of
External Affairs, states, “Covenant House is
not equipped with a full-service kitchen, nor
do we have the funds to hire a kitchen
staff or private catering service.
It’s just not practical.”
However, DC Central Kitchen provides meals
at an economical cost that Covenant House
can afford so that none of their other
programs receive a decrease in funding, staff,
or attention. The Kitchen provides two meals
every day for youth in both the crisis shelter
and the community center.
Corey Poole is the Director of Youth
Development at the Perry School’s afterschool center in Northeast DC. From building
literacy skills for preschoolers to college
readiness classes for highschool seniors,
Mr. Poole has a lot on his plate.
Corey Poole, Director of Youth Development
at the Perry School, works with the Kitchen
to foster healthy eating habits.
“Our biggest obstacle is overcoming learned
behaviors, and one of those is unhealthy
eating habits,” explains Mr. Poole.
That’s where DC Central Kitchen enters the
picture. In addition to the 40 meals provided
daily, Lauren Statman, Healthy Returns
Coordinator and Nutrition Educator, began a
monthly nutrition series for students at the
Perry School. Recently, the students learned
the benefits of whole grains and how to read
nutrition labels to find healthy foods.
Providing low - cost, nutritious
meal service
Carlette comments that
“our relationship with DC Central Kitchen is very important.
Part of our mission is to provide
homeless and runaway youth
with basic needs like nutritious
meals. We couldn’t do it without
the Kitchen.”
Brian Brown, graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s
Culinary Job Training Program, works to prepare meals.
“We believe that these nutrition
classes will plant the seeds for
healthy eating throughout
their lives,” says Mr. Poole.
Planting seeds for
healthy eating
DC Central Kitchen offers nutrition classes to
all meal-partner agencies, totaling about 100
classes each year.
“These kids grew up on fried food, so we’re
grateful that DC Central Kitchen provides
a healthy alternative,” comments Mr. Poole.
“And if we didn’t have the meals, it would
harm our programming. A hot meal is an
incentive for kids to participate.”
Lauren Statman, Healthy
Returns Coordinator and
Nutrition Educator, teaches
kids at the Perry School how
to identify whole grains.
“We’re fighting against obesity in this
community,” says Lauren. “But we can change
kids’ concept of nutrition from carry-out to
whole grains, lean proteins, and
fresh fruits and vegetables.”

Last year, our Meal Distribution

Today, about 1 in 3 children are overweight.
By teaching healthy eating habits and
supplying healthy snacks and meals, DC
Central Kitchen can help reduce obesity, type II
diabetes, and asthma – having a significant
impact on the future health of our nation and
reducing health care costs.

Lillian was married with four children in
Charlottesville, VA. After her husband tired
of her drug use, they separated and Lillian
retreated from society, moving to DC. She
became homeless, residing under Whitehurst
Freeway and then in a park on N Street NW.
Debra and James Johnson began
volunteering at DC Central Kitchen because
they wanted to commit to something and
have a new outlet in their lives.
The mother and son duo have joined the
Kitchen’s 11,000 yearly volunteers – some of
which come from other states or countries,
but many are local like the Johnsons.
After 13 years of homelessness, she met Bill
Hepler, a First Helping Outreach Specialist.
“I was nasty and unresponsive. I didn’t want
their help,” says Lillian.
“The benefit of being a regular volunteer is
that we get to know the Kitchen staff and
they get to know us. When Dawain, one of the
Kitchen staff, had his first daughter, we got to
see pictures,” explains Debra.
Bill and outreach specialist Jeff Rustin were
persistent and maintained contact with Lillian,
but it wasn’t until two years later when Bill
found her close to death, lying in the snow,
that she decided she wanted a change.
“Bill came at my darkest hour,” states Lillian.
“I was constantly harassed by neighbors and
police because of my drug activity. A few of
my friends from the streets had passed away.
I was tired of being ill and tired of sleeping in
the snow and the rain.”
In January 2009, First Helping brought Lillian
to detox and Jeff worked with Lillian to
confront her addiction. He agreed to give
Lillian a ticket to visit her children if she
promised to volunteer at the Kitchen twice
a week. The same woman who had received
sandwiches while on the street is
now making them.
This past Christmas, Lillian went home to
reconnect with family. “I love all my kids,”
says Lillian. “Thinking about my kids that
dark night made me want to live.
It changed my mind.”

James is five weeks into his hospitality
and culinary arts classes at Anne Arundel
Community College. His career goal is to be
a master chef and volunteering at the Kitchen
allows him to put his knife and sanitation
skills into practice. “We volunteer at least
twice a week,” chimes in Debra, “but James
would sleep here if he could.”
Connecting people
to family
James says that he learned his love of cooking
from his mother. “In a fast food generation,
it’s important for people to have fresh,
good food,” explains Debra.

Edward Porter was living in Carpenter’s
Shelter when he met DC Central Kitchen’s
Recruitment Coordinator. He had “given up on
himself” and had been living on the streets
for over two years.
Edward Porter, graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job
Training program, is now a Prep Cook at Murphy’s Irish Pub.
Duane Drake was released from prison

graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training Program,

after eight years. He entered the Mount Sinai
Transitional Home, but was unable to find
a job because of his background. However,
he loved to cook, preparing meals for the
residents at Mount Sinai on the weekends.
When he entered the Culinary Job Training
program, he decided it was time to change. “I
knew I was a better person, and I always loved
to learn. I had to humble myself and stop
trying to do things my way,” explains Edward.
He entered DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary
Job Training Program. He comments, “DC
Central Kitchen saved my life. Ron Swanson’s
empowerment classes made me realize that I
wasn’t the only one with hardships. He told me
that I will get out what I put in. That’s when I
decided to not let myself or anyone else place
boundaries on how far I could go.”
Graduation from the program was a
monumental accomplishment for Edward.
“I couldn’t believe I had finished. I had never
completed anything.”
Two weeks later, after volunteering for a week
at Murphy’s Irish Pub in Alexandria, Edward
earned a job. “Chef Lester gave me the
opportunity, and he opened the door for me.”
Murphy’s Executive Chef Lester Fields
believes in giving people the chance to
succeed. “Someone took the time to teach
me. Now it’s my turn to give back.”
From prisons to professional kitchens
Now that Edward has been given a chance,
he’s working hard and says he’s grateful for
the opportunities. “I love my job. I could stay
here for 15 years,” he says.
“The students have a fresh mindset,”
comments Chef Lester. “They’re eager to
learn, always asking questions so they can do
things right. Rather than saying ‘this
is not my job,’ they offer to do more.
These are the
people we need
at a restaurant.”
“I was a statistic,” says Duane.
“I was told that I would never be
anything and I would end up
back in prison. But look at me now.
I’m a Sous Chef at WJA, and I love
my job. DC Central Kitchen
saves lives.”

While it cost $10,000 for a student to

giving back to their community.
Chef Lester, Executive Chef at Murphy’s Irish Pub, and Edward
Porter, Prep Cook and graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary
Job Training program, work together in the kitchen.
Duane found role models both in his
instructors and in the Kitchen staff. “Dawain
and Mike – also graduates of our Culinary Job
Training program – took me under their wing,
helping me with my knife skills and teaching
me about seasonings. They were my mentors.”
Now, after graduating in July 2008, Duane is
the Sous Chef for our contract foodservice
at the Washington Jesuit Academy and a role
model for 100 middle school boys. “They ask
me hard questions about my past. I never
lie to them, so I say that I did things I’m not
proud of and paid my time to society. I explain
that rappers fail to mention the pain they
experience as a result of their lifestyle. Instead
of idolizing these stars, the boys should
idolize their teachers, doctors, and police
officers – people who make an honest living
and put their lives on the line to protect
the community.”
Duane’s work at WJA has become multifaceted. He serves as a mentor by providing
advice and by holding the boys accountable
to getting straight A’s; as chef, he also takes
responsibility for their nourishment. “Many of
them might not receive well balanced meals at
home, and they don’t like to try new things.
I’m trying to set them on a new path.”
Learning also extends beyond mealtime. Every
Wednesday after-school, Duane works with the
Service Club in the Kitchen.

As this annual report so richly illustrates,
trailblazing nonprofits like DC Central
Kitchen are far from threadbare charities – we
are powerful economic engines in every
community. The Kitchen is but one of more
than 10,000 nonprofits that serve our region
and one of 1.4 million that help preserve
a civil society in America. Collectively,
nonprofits in America produce almost 8%
of our country’s GNP. We employ 14 million
Americans and channel the volunteer energy
of another 60 million people, yet they are
seldom included in candidate visions or party
platforms. Just as DC Central Kitchen worked
to insure that the “homeless” were included in
our city’s growth, we now seek the same
thing for nonprofits.
The V3 Campaign – a national education
project of DC Central Kitchen – is dedicated
to giving candidates for office up-to-date
information about the economic role that
nonprofits play in every community. In
addition, the V3 Campaign helps nonprofit
employees learn how they can legally
advocate on behalf of the causes and
constituents they serve.
DC Central Kitchen Founder and V3 Campaign
leader Robert Egger spoke in 85 communities in
2009, rousing audiences with a bold vision of
nonprofit unity and economic opportunity.
Advocating for the
nonprofit sector
The V3 Campaign is a nonpartisan project.
It does not support any party or candidates.
It is solely dedicated to insuring that, as
America seeks to recover economically, the
entrepreneurial energy and ideas of the
nonprofit sector are included.
