The DC Foundation has supported the Food For Good initiative by holding a fundraising gala dinner. Food for Good implements a waste food reduction project, including environmental education, assisting schools in recycling lunchboxes and waste food, expanding hot food services, and recovering edible surplus ingredients and using them to lovingly cook healthy and delicious lunchboxes which are made available to those in need. Food For Good’s current "Community Kitchen" and Hot Food Center have provided more than 1.5 million free hot lunchboxes to the needy in our society.
