2012 DC CENTRAL KITCHEN ANNUAL REPORT

FROM THE CEO: MICHAEL F. CURTIN, JR.

2012 was a year of significant change at DC Central Kitchen. After more than 25 dedicated years, our founder, Robert Egger, returned to his boyhood home of Southern California to establish the L.A. Kitchen. While Robert takes his mission westward, his philosophy and vision will always be part of what we do and who we are. One of his signature catchphras-es, “Good business,” very succinctly captures all that we try to do here at the Kitchen.

Yes, combating hunger and creating opportunity can be described as the “right” or “good” thing to do—but it’s so much more than that. What we do here at DCCK is also the “smart” thing. Simply put, it’s good business.

Like any good business, we can measure much of what we do in dollars and cents. On average, each of our incoming Culi-nary Job Training classes of 25 students has cost the com-munity up to $7 million in incarceration, supervised release, halfway houses, and recovery programs before they walk into our basement kitchen. By contrast, we spend less than $200,000 training that same group of individuals for meaning-ful employment. Nationally, more than 60% of people who go to prison once will re-offend and return to prison—primarily because they cannot find a job. For our graduates, that rate is less than 2%. By keeping people out of prison and in the workforce, we are saving the community millions of dollars each year. What’s more, we’re putting more money into the

economy as our graduates earn salaries, pay taxes, and provide for their families. That’s good business.

2012 marked the first full year of operation in our newest production facility, the Nutrition Lab. This space has allowed us to turn our locally-sourced, scratch-cooked school meals into a profitable business, generating over $3.5 million in yearly revenue and creating almost 70 jobs, most of which are held by graduates of our Culinary Job Training program. That’s good business.

We also refined Healthy Corners, our program that delivers fresh fruits and vegetables to corner stores in DC’s “food deserts.” Study after study has found that bringing affordable, healthy food to urban corner stores would be a powerful weapon against obesity and poor health. But no one has found a way to actually do it—until now. Blending social enterprise and philanthropy, our method not only works in DC, but can and will be replicated in cities across the country. A DCCK culinary graduate employed by Healthy Corners recently said, “I used to deal drugs in front of these same stores, just taking and hurting the community. Now I’m bringing these neighborhoods healthy food, and that makes me feel good.” That’s really good business.

We learned a lot in 2012. In 2013 we will use these expe-riences to expand affordable access to healthy food in our community. While you read this report, we hope that you will share our excitement for what lies ahead and, once again, join us as we continue to Feed the Soul of the City.

Michael F. Curtin, Jr. Chief Executive Officer

GOODCULINARY JOB TRAINING

We transformed a corner of our bustling kitchen into a state-of-the-art culinary training class-room. With smaller classes and intensive hands-on lessons from our expert instructors, students now receive more personalized education and are better pre-pared for the first day of their new jobs.

85% Our graduates achieved an 85% job placement rate in 2012.

73In 2012, 73 men and women completed the job training program.

Chef Rock Harper, winner of season 3 of Fox’s Hell’s Kitchen, is part of CJT’s robust team of culinary instructors and support staff.

The Culinary Job Training (CJT) program equips men and women with the knife skills and life skills they need to move out of the unemployment line and into jobs. Instead of relying on taxpayers, graduates become them, earning salaries, paying rent, and supporting their families.

$1,090,5442011 CJT graduates earned $1,090,544 in wages in 2012.

$1,560,000In 2011, our community spent $1,560,000 per year incarcerating the individuals who went on to enroll in CJT in 2012.

BUSINESS

FIRST HELPING

First Helping’s mobile outreach team offers healthy, balanced meals to kick-start conversations between our outreach workers and chronically homeless men and women. Connections that start with a hot cup of coffee help set our clients on the path to recovery with housing, health interventions, and social services.

180Each morning our team serves 180 balanced meals to chronically homeless men and women.

59Our outreach team referred 59 clients to stable housing in 2012.

GOOD

In 2012, First Helping implemented a refined recruitment and screen-ing process that allows our out-reach specialists to better identify suitable workforce development opportunities for First Helping clients, including our Culinary Job Training program.

149With the implementation of an employment guide, 149 individu-als received tailored employment referrals in 2012.

5 We successfully guided 5 First Helping clients through our CJT program in 2012.

Outreach Specialist James Weeks, a graduate of CJT Class 74, piloted the Employment Guide in 2012 to provide employment support and referrals tailored to the needs of each individual.

MEAL DISTRIBUTION

Each year, 12,000 volunteers come from around the globe to visit our basement kitchen. Students, faith-based groups, companies, and families come to us with the intention of making meals, and leave with new ideas about homelessness, joblessness, incarceration, and the power of community.

36,000Volunteers logged 36,000 hours in our kitchens in 2012.

12,00012,000 men and women donated their time and energy in 2012, making our meal delivery possible.

GOOD

Every day we transform 3,000 pounds of leftover food into 5,000 balanced, nutritious meals. By giving our meals away at little or no cost to our partner non-profits, we save area shelters, addiction treatment centers, and after-school programs millions in food and personnel costs.

8787 shelters, addiction treatment centers, and after-school programs in the DC area received our meals in 2012.

$3,600,000Our meals saved area nonprofits $3.6 million in 2012.

BUSINESS

FOOD RECOVERY

Despite so many people strug-gling to access nutritious food, our nation needlessly allows half our fresh fruits and vegetables to spoil in the front end of our “food stream.” Our produce recovery partnerships with farms and wholesalers allow us to stop food waste before it starts.

$165 billionAmericans throw away a stag-gering $165 billion worth of food every year.

320,000The Nutrition Lab facilitated the recovery of 320,000 pounds of food that otherwise would have gone to waste in 2012.

GOOD

Our second kitchen facility, the Nutrition Lab, dramatically ex-panded our capacity to process and store fresh, local fruits, vegetables, and protein. Our bulk purchasing discounts and food re-covery activities help us make the most of our donors’ dollars.

53%With increased capacity to handle more product, the amount of donated local protein we could accept increased 53% over 2011.

10¢With greater capacity for storage and processing, our cost per pound of food dropped from $.83/lb in 2010 to $.73/lb in 2012.

Stephen Kendall, Procurement Manager, coordinates all of the Kitchen’s purchased and donated food.

BUSINESS

SCHOOL FOOD

Our innovative, wraparound approach to fighting childhood obesity starts with healthy school meals. We’re dishing up hearty nutrition by the plateful to 2,100 students in economically marginalized DC neighborhoods 5 days a week.

4,800In 2012, we served 4,800 whole-some meals every day to children in low-income DC neighborhoods.

30%Of all the ingredients used in school meals in 2012, 30% were locally sourced.

GOOD

In 2012, a smarter, more stream-lined approach to purchasing food allowed us to buy directly from lo-cal farmers, connecting them with a growing urban consumer base and increasing our local economic impact.

$156,523In 2012 we invested $156,523 in our local economy by purchas-ing produce and meat from area farmers.

22%We increased the total poundage of locally sourced food by 22% from 2011.

Over the past two years, we’ve purchased over $80,000 in produce from third-generation farmer Derek Kilmer in Inwood, West Virginia.

BUSINESS

FRESH START CATERING

As a full-service catering com-pany, Fresh Start’s tasty menus measure up with our peers, but we serve more than savory dish-es. As a mission-driven entre-preneurial venture, Fresh Start is staffed by our own Culinary Job Training program graduates, where they earn living wages and full benefits.

37We employed 37 Culinary Job Training graduates in our social enterprise operations like Fresh Start in 2012.

100%100% of our Fresh Start employees earned benefits and living wages.

GOOD

Fresh Start has created a dynamic market space of consumers who love our locally-sourced, healthy menu options and have embraced our social mission, offering our supporters another engaging opportunity to contribute to DCCK’s community impact.

274Fresh Start catered 274 events in 2012.

64%64% of our operating revenue was earned through social enterprise ventures like Fresh Start.

BUSINESS

HEALTHY CORNERS

Healthy Corners is shattering the baseless assumption that low- income individuals will not buy healthy food. The program has seen increased participation and profits at 29 partner corner stores that pur-chase our fresh produce and healthy snacks and sell them to children, adults, and families looking for affordable, nutritious options.

66%Customer demand led to a 66% increase in items offered in Healthy Corners stores in 2012.

$33,000In 2012 Healthy Corners stores sold $33,000 worth of fresh produce.

GOOD

Healthy Corners is proof that results-oriented public-pri-vate partnerships can stimulate dynamic new projects. After a start-up grant from the District of Columbia, Healthy Corners is now an innovative blend of social enterprise and philanthropy.

33%In the introductory phase of the program in January 2012, store owners bought produce at 33% of its wholesale price.

100%By December 2012 when the program was fully implemented, store owners bought produce at 100% of wholesale price.

CAMPUS KITCHENS PROJECT

Our resourceful approach to fighting hunger harnesses stu-dent energy in campus kitchens across the country, preventing the waste of 408,000 pounds of food in 2012 while providing free meals to 110 under-resourced nonprofits across America.

5,424Campus Kitchens across the country were fueled by 5,424 student volunteers in 2012.

252,672Student-led Campus Kitchens produced 252,672 balanced meals for hungry Americans in 2012.

ROBERT EGGER: A FAREWELL TRIBUTE

What started as a vision to recycle the food our society wasted as a means to empower the people we undervalued has grown far beyond what this starry-eyed dreamer could have ever imagined.

The last 24 years has been a long, joyful voyage of discovery. Along with a staggering roster of great colleagues, DC Central Kitchen has helped reveal how rich our city truly is, how much each person has to offer, and the amazing power of food to nourish the body, lift the spirit, and strengthen the community. But these were not random revelations...we set out to shatter stereotypes, including what role a “non” profit could

Frustrated by food waste and bandaid solutions to Washington’s big challenges of hunger and homelessness, 30-year-old Robert Egger quits his job as a restaurant manager and founds DC Central Kitchen. He starts in January 1989 with one van to recover food from the city’s inauguration parties.

President Clinton signs into law the Good Samaritan Food Donation Act that Robert helped move forward to protect food donors against liability.

19961989

When I drove out on a cold night in January 1989 on DC Central Kitchen’s first food pickup (fittingly, from inau-gural events), I could hardly have anticipated how long the journey would be.

play in the economy. And that’s one of the reasons I am honored to pen this farewell in our annual report, where the full gamut of our work is displayed.

While my journey now veers west, to Los Angeles, where I will soon open the L.A. Kitchen to pioneer new ways to enrich and include our elders, I leave behind a strong, vital organization – ably led by a dynamic team and engaged board, and supported by a city that I love more than words can say. So, rather than say good-bye...let me just say thanks, rock on, and I’ll see you down the road.

Robert goes national with the launch of the Campus Kitchens Project, a nation-wide food recovery model using school cafeterias, and he appears on Oprah to receive the Oprah Angel Network’s Use Your Life Award.

Robert writes Begging for Change: The Dollars and Sense of Making Nonprofits Responsive, Efficient, and Rewarding for All in 2004 in a national call to strengthen the nation’s nonprofit sector.

Hundreds of friends gather at a farewell tribute in January 2013 to celebrate Robert’s leadership in the Washington, DC community and wish him well as he starts L.A. Kitchen in California.
