On Monday, children participating in the Annual White House Easter Egg Roll used eggs that were prepared right here in DC Central Kitchen. Last week, our staff hard-boiled almost 5,000 eggs and delivered them to the White House.

The Kitchen has a history of involvement with Presidential events going back to our founding. Our very first food recovery was from the inaugural party of President George Bush Sr. in 1989.

"Over the years, our partners in the community have realized that the real power of our model lies in strategic partnerships, more than just donations," said CEO Mike Curtin. "We used to pick up food at these events; now we're often the ones preparing it."
