Every year, Americans waste 96 billion pounds of food while ten percent of its population goes hungry. Robert Egger decided to see what he could do to build a bridge between these two facts. Through the recovery of unused food from local restaurants and food service institutions, his organization--D.C. Central Kitchen--creates balanced meals to feed children and homeless adults at social service centers throughout Washington, D.C., Virginia and Maryland. The group also offers food service training to prepare unemployed and homeless adults for potential careers. The end result? 3000 healthy meals per day, and hundreds of newly minted culinary professionals.
