DC Central Kitchen is a nonprofit and social enterprise founded in 1989 by Robert Egger that combats hunger and poverty through job training and job creation. The organization provides hands-on culinary job training for individuals facing high barriers to employment while creating living wage jobs and bringing nutritious, dignified food where it is most needed. DCCK’s social ventures include serving scratch-cooked farm-to-school meals in DC schools, delivering fresh, affordable produce to corner stores in neighborhoods without supermarkets, and operating a fast-casual cafe.

To mark Thanksgiving, Kamala Harris published one of her family's Thanksgiving recipes which was the CornBread.
