DC Food Project
The DC Food Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to eliminating child hunger by increasing access to nutritious food. Founded in 2018, the organization focuses on providing additional food to school children and their families during the school day and over weekends when school meals are not available.
Mission
The mission of the DC Food Project is straightforward: to ensure that no child experiences hunger due to lack of access to nutritious food. This is achieved through unique partnerships with schools in Washington, D.C., and surrounding areas.
Programs
The organization operates several programs designed to address food insecurity:
-
Pantry Program: This program acts as a discreet resource for students to receive food and other essential items throughout the school day or over weekends.
-
Community Bag Program: Tailored to support seniors, this initiative provides essential groceries to vulnerable groups.
-
Share Table Program: Implemented in schools, this program rescues unopened or uneaten school breakfast and lunch items, offering them to students who may need extra nutrition while reducing food waste.
Impact
Since its inception, the DC Food Project has provided over 3.5 million meals to students, families, and seniors. The organization continues to adapt and expand its services, particularly in response to heightened need during crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
History
Inspired by local teachers who used personal funds to support hungry students, the organization was started by a group of mothers in the D.C. area. Over time, it has grown to address broader community needs and collaborate with schools, businesses, and residents.
Funding and Recognition
The DC Food Project is supported through grants and contributions. In recent years, it has received funding from entities like the Lucas Kaempfer Foundation and The DC Central Kitchen to support its hunger-fighting efforts. As of recent fiscal reports, total revenues have been primarily sourced from grants and contributions, indicating a strong support network from local and possibly national organizations.
