Professor Sarah Duggin, director of the Compliance, Investigations, and Corporate Responsibility Program (CICR), took a group of students from her Law of Corporate Social Responsibility class and the CICR program to visit DC Central Kitchen (DCCK). Following a tour of the facility, the group from Catholic Law met with DCCK CEO, Michael Curtin Jr., to discuss corporate responsibility.

DC Central Kitchen is an iconic nonprofit and social enterprise that combats hunger and poverty through job training and job creation. The organization provides hands-on culinary job training for individuals facing high barriers to employment while creating living wage jobs and bringing nutritious, dignified food where it is most needed. DCCK’s social ventures include serving scratch-cooked farm-to-school meals in DC schools, delivering fresh, affordable produce to corner stores in neighborhoods without supermarkets, and operating fast-casual cafes throughout the District of Columbia.
