The Future of Sustainability
The Future of Sustainability Annual Report ‘09 Ray Lynn Showalter is founder and owner of Mole Hill Gardens in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. He grows lettuce hydroponically in a greenhouse on land that has sustained his family for generations. Ray Lynn, founder of Mole Hill Gardens, checks on his lettuce seedlings. 85% of Ray’s business is wholesale and DC Central Kitchen is his largest customer. The remaining 15% goes to small restaurants in Harrisonburg. The venue for the majority of his sales is the Shenandoah Valley Produce Auction. Many faces of sustainability The word “sustainability” is a popular term these days. We’ve taken a hard look at what that word really means and how it specifically relates to our community and our organization. In 2009, we trained and found employment for 81 students of our Culinary Job Training program. During the course of one year, these graduates will contribute more than $250,000, in payroll taxes alone, to our local economy. This does not include the spin-off revenue these formerly unemployed men and women will spend on rent, food, clothing, and other goods and services for themselves and their families. Instead of taking money out of the “system,” these graduates are now putting significant resources back into our community, making it far more sustainable. Our heavy investment in our Farm to Kitchen program continues to have profound effects on every aspect of our operation. By purchasing produce, dairy, and protein locally from independent farmers, we have: local food system, combating the long-term and very expensive diseases of diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity; “The Shenandoah Valley can do a lot of growing for cities in the area. This is a source of employment for families, a source of income, and I hope it will prove to be a sustainable enterprise,” comments Ray as his son helps Louis, DC Central Kitchen’s Transportation Representative, load 43 boxes of Romaine and Bibb lettuce onto the DC Central Kitchen truck. And dramatically cut the cost of purchasing food to supplement what we cannot receive through donations. In addition, this program has become a significant social enterprise venture. We are now partnering with other food service institutions who not only want to purchase locally, but who want to be part of our mission not as charity but as a business model. Over the last several years, the Kitchen has worked very hard to remind people that we are not simply a “charity” but a business that has the social good as its number one goal. One could argue, in fact, that the traditional charity, the idea of giving that which is left over – food, clothing, money – is, in and of itself, unsustainable. For this reason, we continue to develop business and social enterprise models to generate more revenue for our programs while employing more of our graduates…that’s what we call sustainable. Economic Footprint Michael F. Curtin, Jr. Chief Executive Officer to kitchens DC Central Kitchen was the link we needed to connect us to DC. I hope that the work of the Kitchen continues to spread and provide more opportunity for small family farms like us.” From June 1 – October 31, 2009, we purchased 46% of our fresh produce from local farms, putting $19,015 back into the farming community. Engaged thousands of more volunteers to process this product; Put healthier, more nutritious food into the Linking farms L This past fall, Ray Lynn and his family visited the Kitchen to volunteer, prepping their very own products. “My experience with the Kitchen has been a blessing. Created a revenue stream for local farmers and growers that did not exist before; Hired more graduates to supervise this work; “People come to the auction because it provides local products. The customer wants to know us and we want to know them,” concludes Ray. He views city schools and hospitals as a market that could benefit from local product. With this in mind, and because of the significant business he does with the Kitchen, he’s currently building a second greenhouse to expand his production and better coordinate his growing season with the school year. Michael F. Curtin, Jr. Chief Executive Officer of DC Central Kitchen Louis Goode, DC Central Kitchen Transportation Representative, picks up lettuce from Ray’s farm all year round. 2 Covenant House is one of the largest national, privately-funded childcare agencies in the US, serving homeless and runaway youth ages 18 – 21 years old. As one of 21 locations, Covenant House in Southeast DC serves 5,000 youth every year. DC Central Kitchen provides Covenant House with 34,675 meals a year. In addition to residential, employment, and educational services, Covenant House has an outreach program, which works to build relationships with youth on the streets, so when they are ready for change, help is there. Meals from DC Central Kitchen are an essential aspect of Covenant House programming. Carlette Mack, Director of External Affairs, states, “Covenant House is not equipped with a full-service kitchen, nor do we have the funds to hire a kitchen staff or private catering service. It’s just not practical.” However, DC Central Kitchen provides meals at an economical cost that Covenant House can afford so that none of their other programs receive a decrease in funding, staff, or attention. The Kitchen provides two meals every day for youth in both the crisis shelter and the community center. Corey Poole is the Director of Youth Development at the Perry School’s afterschool center in Northeast DC. From building literacy skills for preschoolers to college readiness classes for highschool seniors, Mr. Poole has a lot on his plate. Corey Poole, Director of Youth Development at the Perry School, works with the Kitchen to foster healthy eating habits. “Our biggest obstacle is overcoming learned behaviors, and one of those is unhealthy eating habits,” explains Mr. Poole. That’s where DC Central Kitchen enters the picture. In addition to the 40 meals provided daily, Lauren Statman, Healthy Returns Coordinator and Nutrition Educator, began a monthly nutrition series for students at the Perry School. Recently, the students learned the benefits of whole grains and how to read nutrition labels to find healthy foods. Providing low - cost, nutritious meal service Carlette comments that “our relationship with DC Central Kitchen is very important. Part of our mission is to provide homeless and runaway youth with basic needs like nutritious meals. We couldn’t do it without the Kitchen.” Brian Brown, graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training Program, works to prepare meals. “We believe that these nutrition classes will plant the seeds for healthy eating throughout their lives,” says Mr. Poole. Planting seeds for healthy eating DC Central Kitchen offers nutrition classes to all meal-partner agencies, totaling about 100 classes each year. “These kids grew up on fried food, so we’re grateful that DC Central Kitchen provides a healthy alternative,” comments Mr. Poole. “And if we didn’t have the meals, it would harm our programming. A hot meal is an incentive for kids to participate.” Lauren Statman, Healthy Returns Coordinator and Nutrition Educator, teaches kids at the Perry School how to identify whole grains. “We’re fighting against obesity in this community,” says Lauren. “But we can change kids’ concept of nutrition from carry-out to whole grains, lean proteins, and fresh fruits and vegetables.” Economic Footprint Economic Footprint Last year, our Meal Distribution program prepared 1.46 million nutritious meals for our 100 partner agencies, saving the local nonprofit community $3.5 million in food cost annually. 3 Today, about 1 in 3 children are overweight. By teaching healthy eating habits and supplying healthy snacks and meals, DC Central Kitchen can help reduce obesity, type II diabetes, and asthma – having a significant impact on the future health of our nation and reducing health care costs. 4 Lillian was married with four children in Charlottesville, VA. After her husband tired of her drug use, they separated and Lillian retreated from society, moving to DC. She became homeless, residing under Whitehurst Freeway and then in a park on N Street NW. Debra and James Johnson began volunteering at DC Central Kitchen because they wanted to commit to something and have a new outlet in their lives. The mother and son duo have joined the Kitchen’s 11,000 yearly volunteers – some of which come from other states or countries, but many are local like the Johnsons. After 13 years of homelessness, she met Bill Hepler, a First Helping Outreach Specialist. “I was nasty and unresponsive. I didn’t want their help,” says Lillian. “The benefit of being a regular volunteer is that we get to know the Kitchen staff and they get to know us. When Dawain, one of the Kitchen staff, had his first daughter, we got to see pictures,” explains Debra. Bill and outreach specialist Jeff Rustin were persistent and maintained contact with Lillian, but it wasn’t until two years later when Bill found her close to death, lying in the snow, that she decided she wanted a change. “Bill came at my darkest hour,” states Lillian. “I was constantly harassed by neighbors and police because of my drug activity. A few of my friends from the streets had passed away. I was tired of being ill and tired of sleeping in the snow and the rain.” In January 2009, First Helping brought Lillian to detox and Jeff worked with Lillian to confront her addiction. He agreed to give Lillian a ticket to visit her children if she promised to volunteer at the Kitchen twice a week. The same woman who had received sandwiches while on the street is now making them. This past Christmas, Lillian went home to reconnect with family. “I love all my kids,” says Lillian. “Thinking about my kids that dark night made me want to live. It changed my mind.” 5 (Based on National Coalition to End Homelessness figures for shelter vs. housing costs.) James is five weeks into his hospitality and culinary arts classes at Anne Arundel Community College. His career goal is to be a master chef and volunteering at the Kitchen allows him to put his knife and sanitation skills into practice. “We volunteer at least twice a week,” chimes in Debra, “but James would sleep here if he could.” Connecting people to family James says that he learned his love of cooking from his mother. “In a fast food generation, it’s important for people to have fresh, good food,” explains Debra. 11 seniors placed in housing (There were no senior housing placements in 2008) “We worked with Lillian for two years and saw her heart. I saw a mother that loved her children, and I knew that seeing them was Economic Footprint key. Lillian just needed to be linked to the right person and Our street-outreach team has a unique ability to “break through.” We placed 81 program,” said Rustin. individuals into housing, saving tax-payers almost $650,000 in one year. Debra and James Johnson volunteer at the Kitchen twice a week. 70 clients brought to shelters 70 clients placed in PSA Housing Engaging volunteers 365 days a year “Not only is the food fresh at the Kitchen, but the staff are well trained and they adhere to that training. They’re serious about their Kitchen.” Whether it’s chopping onions or roasting potatoes, the service of Debra and James makes a difference. They help produce the 4,000 daily meals that will feed people in need, and prep surplus summer vegetables that we freeze and use in the winter. 50 clients taken to Detox Economic Footprint Lillian enjoys checking out books at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. She recently read Cane River by Lalita Tademy. Our 11,000 volunteers per year provide DC Central Kitchen with nearly 35,000 work hours annually, saving us more than $710,000 per year on labor. (Based on figures from the Independent Sector.) 6 Edward Porter was living in Carpenter’s Shelter when he met DC Central Kitchen’s Recruitment Coordinator. He had “given up on himself” and had been living on the streets for over two years. Edward Porter, graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training program, is now a Prep Cook at Murphy’s Irish Pub. Duane Drake was released from prison Duane Drake, Sous Chef at the Washington Jesuit Academy and graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training Program, is a mentor for the WJA Service Club. after eight years. He entered the Mount Sinai Transitional Home, but was unable to find a job because of his background. However, he loved to cook, preparing meals for the residents at Mount Sinai on the weekends. When he entered the Culinary Job Training program, he decided it was time to change. “I knew I was a better person, and I always loved to learn. I had to humble myself and stop trying to do things my way,” explains Edward. He entered DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training Program. He comments, “DC Central Kitchen saved my life. Ron Swanson’s empowerment classes made me realize that I wasn’t the only one with hardships. He told me that I will get out what I put in. That’s when I decided to not let myself or anyone else place boundaries on how far I could go.” Graduation from the program was a monumental accomplishment for Edward. “I couldn’t believe I had finished. I had never completed anything.” Two weeks later, after volunteering for a week at Murphy’s Irish Pub in Alexandria, Edward earned a job. “Chef Lester gave me the opportunity, and he opened the door for me.” Murphy’s Executive Chef Lester Fields believes in giving people the chance to succeed. “Someone took the time to teach me. Now it’s my turn to give back.” From prisons to professional kitchens Now that Edward has been given a chance, he’s working hard and says he’s grateful for the opportunities. “I love my job. I could stay here for 15 years,” he says. “The students have a fresh mindset,” comments Chef Lester. “They’re eager to learn, always asking questions so they can do things right. Rather than saying ‘this is not my job,’ they offer to do more. These are the people we need at a restaurant.” “I was a statistic,” says Duane. “I was told that I would never be anything and I would end up back in prison. But look at me now. I’m a Sous Chef at WJA, and I love my job. DC Central Kitchen saves lives.” Economic Footprint While it cost $10,000 for a student to receive life changing training, it costs over $40,000 to keep them in prison for a year. Our 81 graduates in 2009 will earn more than $2 million in annual salaries while paying over $250,000 in payroll taxes – ultimately 7 giving back to their community. Chef Lester, Executive Chef at Murphy’s Irish Pub, and Edward Porter, Prep Cook and graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training program, work together in the kitchen. Duane found role models both in his instructors and in the Kitchen staff. “Dawain and Mike – also graduates of our Culinary Job Training program – took me under their wing, helping me with my knife skills and teaching me about seasonings. They were my mentors.” Now, after graduating in July 2008, Duane is the Sous Chef for our contract foodservice at the Washington Jesuit Academy and a role model for 100 middle school boys. “They ask me hard questions about my past. I never lie to them, so I say that I did things I’m not proud of and paid my time to society. I explain that rappers fail to mention the pain they experience as a result of their lifestyle. Instead of idolizing these stars, the boys should idolize their teachers, doctors, and police officers – people who make an honest living and put their lives on the line to protect the community.” Duane’s work at WJA has become multifaceted. He serves as a mentor by providing advice and by holding the boys accountable to getting straight A’s; as chef, he also takes responsibility for their nourishment. “Many of them might not receive well balanced meals at home, and they don’t like to try new things. I’m trying to set them on a new path.” Learning also extends beyond mealtime. Every Wednesday after-school, Duane works with the Service Club in the Kitchen. 8 Canary Justice gives a big hug to every volunteer from the Campus Kitchen at St. Louis University (CKSLU) who comes to her door to deliver her meals three times a week. Josh Mueller (CKSLU) prepares to deliver meals. CKSLU was our first Campus Kitchen! She’s an elderly resident of Council Towers, a community partner that’s existed since the Campus Kitchen opened its doors in 2001. Since then, CKSLU has expanded to serve 2,000 meals every month – most cooked from scratch using donated raw ingredients – while fostering the growth of other hunger relief organizations in the community. When food donations spiked in 2009, the Campus Kitchen directed excess food to other agencies in the city. CKSLU’s history of Culinary Job Training continued this year with nine more graduates receiving their ServSafe Certificates, making them qualified by the Restaurant Association to work in a professional kitchen – providing a powerful form of economic empowerment. CKSLU has graduated 63 Culinary Job Training students to date. Students serving Seniors “The Campus Kitchen brings peace to my mind. When I met them, I had just been getting over an illness. They kept me well fed when I wasn’t able to take care of myself. ” www.campuskitchens.org As this annual report so richly illustrates, trailblazing nonprofits like DC Central Kitchen are far from threadbare charities – we are powerful economic engines in every community. The Kitchen is but one of more than 10,000 nonprofits that serve our region and one of 1.4 million that help preserve a civil society in America. Collectively, nonprofits in America produce almost 8% of our country’s GNP. We employ 14 million Americans and channel the volunteer energy of another 60 million people, yet they are seldom included in candidate visions or party platforms. Just as DC Central Kitchen worked to insure that the “homeless” were included in our city’s growth, we now seek the same thing for nonprofits. The V3 Campaign – a national education project of DC Central Kitchen – is dedicated to giving candidates for office up-to-date information about the economic role that nonprofits play in every community. In addition, the V3 Campaign helps nonprofit employees learn how they can legally advocate on behalf of the causes and constituents they serve. DC Central Kitchen Founder and V3 Campaign leader Robert Egger spoke in 85 communities in 2009, rousing audiences with a bold vision of nonprofit unity and economic opportunity. Advocating for the nonprofit sector The V3 Campaign is a nonpartisan project. It does not support any party or candidates. It is solely dedicated to insuring that, as America seeks to recover economically, the entrepreneurial energy and ideas of the nonprofit sector are included. – Canary Justice of Council Towers, St. Louis Economic Footprint Students continue to power our hunger-relief efforts by supporting local economies with over 48,000 hours of volunteer service, with a cash value of $975,000. While adding free workforce hours to the community, Campus Kitchens across the country saved partners a total of $560,000 through free meal service, recovering more than 300,000 lbs of food 9 that would have gone to waste. Just as DC Central Kitchen was a pioneer in challenging the stereotype of hunger and homelessness, we are once again stepping forward, bravely, to challenge another inaccurate image. Ernesto Varias, graduate of DC Central Kitchen’s Culinary Job Training program, is now a Production Assistant at the Kitchen, helping make 4,000 meals every day.
