Food, Fellowship, and Purpose ☝🏽

DC Central Kitchen is a non-profit organization that uses food as a tool to strengthen bodies; empower minds, and build up our district! During this visit, our scholars had the pleasure of assisting their chefs as they got ready to cook off all these vegetables into meals!

Warm Meals and Open Hearts 🙌🏽

Take a look at our November Baker Difference Committee Event where our scholars helped the wonderful people at Thrive serve food to our local DC residents in need!

Thrive DC is a non-profit organization that provides vulnerable individuals with comprehensive services to help stabilize their lives. During this visit, our scholars had the pleasure of attending one of their soup kitchens where they gave a lending hand wherever was needed!
