Volunteer with DC Central Kitchen
November 30 @ 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm
Important: RECOMMEND SIGNING UP EARLY. You must RSVP here with your name and email and register and sign up on the DC Central Kitchen site. If you only RSVP here you are not signed up. This spot may fill up, but there will be a waitlist you can join via the website as well.
Fills Up Fast: Shifts at DC Central Kitchen fill up fast. If you would like to volunteer we recommend signing up weeks in advance.
Every day, dedicated volunteers help DC Central Kitchen transform ingredients into more than 16,000 balanced meals for our community. As a volunteer, you will work with our culinary staff, as well as students of our Culinary Job Training program, to cut, chop, peel, and prep food in our kitchen.
Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your shift time to allow enough time for orientation. Also note that late arrivals may not be able to volunteer for their scheduled shift.
How to get here: DCCK is located in the Buzzard Point neighborhood behind Audi Field. Our front entrance is on V St between First and 2nd St. We are located closest to Waterfront Metro Station (Green Line). We have a DCCK shuttle that runs every 15 minutes between Waterfront Metro and our facility Monday through Friday between 6:30am – 9:30am, and 3:30pm – 6:30pm. There is also a metro bus (Bus 74) that runs between the Waterfront station and directly in front our facility. James Creek Marina Parking Lot ($20 Daily). Bike Racks are located on site if guests would like to transport via bicycle (Each guest would have to provide own locks to lock bike).
Dress Code: Safety is DCCK’s number one concern. All volunteers must wear appropriate and professional attire suitable for an industrial production kitchen. Shoes with high-grip soles are strongly recommended. Due to health regulations, volunteers who do not follow this dress code will not be allowed to work in the Kitchen.
Long pants (no skirts, no shorts)
Closed toe shoes
No tank or halter tops, no dresses
Hair must be up and out of face. (We will provide hair nets.)
Masks are not required; however, they will be available for those who would prefer to wear them.
