Volunteer Opportunity -DC Central Kitchen
Alice Deal Gives Back
November 7th and November 8th, 9am-12pm
We have 30 spots available for students (and some parents) to volunteer at the DC Central Kitchen for Morning Food Prep! We are working to make this an annual event and last year our group of volunteers had a great experience. Spots are primarily for students ages 12+, but parents can join if there is space/as needed.
