Volunteer w/ Greeks in Health Care at DC Central K

Greeks in Health Care has partnered with DC Central Kitchen in their efforts to combat food insecurities in the Washington, DC communities. Access to food is a social determinant of health impacting millions of Americans. We can help!

Join Greeks in Health Care as we volunteer to prepare meals to feed those in need and support DC Central Kitchen's mission to help solve this substantial issue.
