The Pro Bono & Access to Justice and Poverty Law Sections are co-sponsoring a service project with DC Central Kitchen. Participants will assist DCCK kitchen staff and Culinary Job Training Program students with food prep, which entails chopping fruits and vegetables and related tasks in support of assembling the meals they distribute for the week to DC schools, shelters and other partner agencies. This will be an opportunity to build community both with one another and with a wonderful local partner. DCCK combats hunger and poverty through job creation and training alongside food preservation and meal preparation.
The shift will take place from 9:00 am - 12:00 noon on Saturday, January 6 at the Klein Center, located at 2121 First Street SW, Washington, DC 20024. We will coordinate with volunteers in advance of the visit, but for planning purposes, the group will meet at the hotel entrance at 8:30 am to take shared rides to the service project; bus transportation is not provided. Registrants will receive follow-up instructions on logging into DCCK's portal to sign a waiver in advance. More information and a waiver will be provided after registration/closer to the conference date.
All volunteers must wear appropriate and professional attire suitable for an industrial production kitchen. Please wear closed toed shoes, sleeves, and long pants. Shoes with high-grip soles are strongly recommended.
