to all who are intreested in volunteering at dc central kitchen, here is the scoop: we have been working with local farmers and, as a result, receive tons of produce, some of which we buy from of the farmers and some is free. there are three co-op shifts - Monday, Thursday and Friday from 5-8pm. you can sign up individually or as a group. you may spend all evening peeling carrots but it is a joyous and very rewarding experience. I am there myself every Thursday evening. Chef Whitt Masters directs all and the employees of the kitchen are by your side helping out. sign up at www.dccentralkitchen.org/volunteer. I always feel better when I leave than when I arrived. Hope you do, too. see you there!
