DC Central Kitchen and Venga might be outside the Borderstan boundaries, but the impact of the cause they’re pairing up for will be felt all over our neighborhood. Together, Venga and DC Central Kitchen will drive a bus around town from September 17th to the 30th, stuffing it full of hearty, healthy foods. DC Central Kitchen will use the food to create meals for thousands of at-risk individuals across the city.
Venga is a free mobile app and website that posts exclusive offers at DC restaurants and bars.
Sunday at Dupont Farmers’ Market
Matty, Luis and I (and some of your other favorite Borderstan contributors) will be stuffing the bus this Sunday, September 25 from 10 am to noon at the Dupont Farmers’ Market on 20th Street NW between Massachusetts and Connecticut Avenues.
What’s in the Stuffing?
Here’s what they need the most — but any food donation you can make will be appreciated:
- canned tomatoes (stewed, diced, paste)
- canned beans
- boxed pasta
- granola bars, trail mix
- applesauce, fruit cups
Other Ways To Give
If you’re not able to bring food with you, you can still help DC Central Kitchen. There will be a virtual market at the bus for you to donate:
- $5 = 1/2 dozen heads of hydroponic bibb lettuce
- $10= 1 free range roaster chicken
- $25= 1 case of plump Shenandoah Valley tomatoes
- $50= 80 servings of hormone free, pasture raised local ground beef
