Event Navigation
Join the PCMA CC for a volunteer event at DC Central Kitchen on October 9, 2026, 2:00 pm – 4:00 pm. We are excited to work with the DC Central Kitchen culinary staff as well as students of its Culinary Job Training program to cut, chop, peel, and prep food in the kitchen for its afternoon prep shift.
Every day, dedicated volunteers help to transform these ingredients into more than 10,000 balanced meals for our community. To learn more about DC Central Kitchen and its impact, please visit https://dccentralkitchen.org/.
Registration is limited for this activity. Volunteers must register via the DC Central Kitchen Volunteer Portal, see below for more information.
Event champions are coordinating an informal happy hour at a nearby restaurant for those participating and interested!
