Is your office, school or community organization thinking about doing a food drive for DC Central Kitchen this holiday season?

If so, thank you! We have compiled a list of groceries that would be most helpful as we work towards our mission of combating hunger and creating opportunity.

• Frozen turkeys and other frozen poultry
• Canned tuna
• Spices (bulk size preferred)
• Canned tomato products (paste, sauce, chopped tomatoes, etc.)
• Healthy snacks (granola bars; raisin boxes; fruit cups; individual packs of pretzels, crackers, etc.)
• Individual bags of homemade trail mix
• Travel-sized toiletries for street-outreach clients
• Warm socks

While we appreciate all food donations, we encourage you to focus on the above items when you do your food drive or purchase groceries for us.

Donations are tax-deductible, and while we are able to pick up donations from many nearby locations, we prefer at least three day’s advance notice.

If you have questions or would like to schedule a pick up, please contact Jamie Schuman jschuman@dccentralkitchen.org at 202-234-0707, Ext. 145.
