DC Central Kitchen has launched a new $35 million campaign to build its new headquarters.
The campaign dubbed Bringing the Kitchen Home aims to raise funds to build a new center on Buzzard Point in Southwest DC.
According to the management, the 36,000-square-foot state-of-the-art Michael R. Klein Center for Jobs and Justice, named in honor of long-time supporter Michael Klein, will open in spring 2022, housing expanded production and training kitchens, offices, meeting and event spaces, and the third location of DC Central Kitchen’s social enterprise cafe model. The campaign has reached 83 percent of its overall goal to date.
When I joined DC Central Kitchen in 2004, it was clear our mission and the needs of our community had grown beyond the confines of our existing space.This state-of-the-art facility will finally provide our staff, culinary students, and volunteers with space to work and learn with dignity as we undertake even more ambitious solutions in the fight against hunger and injustice. – DC Central Kitchen CEO Mike Curtin.
