Healthy Corners

Marbury Market staff, Healthy Corners ParticipantsA local partnership bringing fresh food and economic opportunities to small businesses.

DC Central Kitchen has launched an affordable wholesale delivery service for fresh produce and healthy, tasty snack items. In conjunction with the Shepherd’s Gift Foundation, we will be bringing nutritious options to corner stores and other small retailers located in Wards 5, 7, and 8.

In addition to offering these partner businesses new products for sale, we will provide them with nutrition education, marketing support, and technical assistance.

This pilot initiative will also allow us to purchase fruits and vegetables from local farmers and employ graduates of our Culinary Job Training program.

If you’re interested in becoming one of our partner retailers or wondering if we will be serving a store near you, contact us at healthycorners@dccentralkitchen.org.

Check back soon for more information about this exciting new program that will combat hunger and create opportunity in our city’s food deserts!
