Today we went to DC Central Kitchen for a team building activity. The program was created by a man who saw how wasteful elegant restaurants are in the DC area. He started a program that picks up day old produce from these restaurants for people to prepare for those less fortunate in shelters. Volunteers help prepare the food, as well as people who have abused drugs or alcohol and have recently established a clean record with help. They are part of a 12 week program. They learn how to cook food as well as interview tips in hope of landing a job. It is a great program and I helped to make over 4000 meals for the hungry of DC!
Came back to the center and then worked on workshops and committees. Had house meeting to discuss policy. Headed to Mt. Vernon for tomorrow
