Fundraise
If you’re getting ready to celebrate a special occasion, you can use your festivities to benefit DC Central Kitchen’s life-changing programs. Your personal celebration can change lives. We’re here to help make it easy with ideas and resources.
And if you’re looking for a caterer for your special event, don’t forget about our full-service catering company, Fresh Start.
Celebrations could include:
- Parties! Birthdays, Bar or Bat Mitzvahs, Anniversaries, Graduations or Retirements
- Weddings
- Holiday or Birthday Gifts
How it works
DC Central Kitchen will contact the honoree (the person who has the special occasion) when a gift is made if the donor provides the honoree’s contact information.
- Donors making a gift online should fill out the “In Honor Of” section of the form and include the honoree’s contact information.
- Donors making a gift by check should include the honoree’s name on the memo line, and include the honoree’s contact information in the envelope.
