Let me begin by saying the smallest amount of effort would go such a long ways. Our nightly meals are usually quite bad. I can only imagine a 3 year old is cooking most meals with the least effort possible. However once every 2 weeks something comes out not as horrible. Come on guys you can very easily create something besides vomit.

This is an amazing organization to help those who aren't so fortunate themselves. They also serve as a great resource for people looking to gain experience in the culinary/food service industry.

I eat at the MLk library location and I love it. Great people and great food. If you’re at or near the library, give them a try. The chicken and wild rice soup of the day is delicious!

I actually am just a recipient so have had quite a bit of their food. Good meals and meals that it would be safer to skip. They don't cook very good vegan or vegetarian. Not sure veggies are properly washed --- brown and soft spots on broccoli. Should be diced smaller for real stir fry. The veggie dishes you might still find some bacon bits. At least that's what I found.

As the Service Coordinator for Capitol Hill Towes in Washington, DC. I would like to thank World Central Kitchen and Chef Jose Andres for supplying meals to our seniors.

DC Kitchen is a fun place to volunteer at. Although sometimes they get so many volunteers, which is a good thing. You must enjoy working in a kitchen and definitely wear sneakers and comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting dirty. You may be in charge of cutting food, cooking food, or cleaning up. Be ready to do anything! Also, a huge plus is that you may learn some prep/cooking tips from the chef!

The entrance looked like an old car wash with the plastic. I think thats where they prepare the food. I think that you have to do community service to get food

I was so honored to be part of this! I have always wanted to volunteer and it was such a fun and great experience! When I got there, I had to sign in and then take a seat and wait till the staff member came and gave us hair nets and aprons. We were divided up into groups and washed our hands and then wore the gloves to start the prep process. We were in charge of chopping up the squash and zucchini. It really felt therapeutic and also knowing that I was helping which was an awesome feeling. At one point we were told to go on break but I was on a roll and didn't want to stop lol. Once we did finish up, we also had to clean and while down like stations and also sweep up any debris. I love that DC kitchen serves the community. I was so happy to be part of this and it just feels so good to give back! I hope to volunteer again soon!

DC Central Kitchen is the nation’s first and leading community kitchen that recycles food from around Washington, D.C. They create great impact by combating hunger and creating opportunity for the unemployed. They welcome volunteers as "Hungerfighters" in helping to transform wasted food into balanced meals for our community.

Joined a rather large group of fellow Yelp Eliters one Sat morning. Let's back up, I eventually joined them because finding the entrance was a little tricky if you use GPS. It'll actually take you to the front door of the building on 2nd St. However, you want to enter on E St and follow the few small signs through the back of the building. Once inside, past the plastic door covering, you make a right down the hall and another right into the volunteer waiting room. Not sure how this works with other groups but since there were so many of us, we were taken in sections and shown our, respective, work stations for the morning. Some were chopping veggies, some were prepping meat to cook, some were bagging dry goods and some were washing dishes. The overall feeling was excitement. Everyone really seemed happy to be using their time to ensure that someone got a balanced meal. This will, hands down, be one of my most memorable volunteering experiences! We had so much fun volunteering, it never felt laborious. Although I went though Yelp, I'm definitely signing up again. From the looks of the online sign-up calendar, a lot of people feel the same way since there are no available shifts.
