Lend Your Food Service Expertise to Sips & Suppers

January 3, 2014

This January, Honorary Chairs José Andrés, Alice Waters, and Joan Nathan will host Sips & Suppers, an annual fundraiser that supports two leading nonprofits combating hunger and poverty in our nation’s capital – Martha’s Table and DC Central Kitchen (DCCK).
 
Over 30 suppers are hosted in private homes in and around Washington, DC, and each supper is prepared by two well-known chefs. The hard-working organizers behind Sips & Suppers are looking for volunteers with significant fine-dining experience to help provide exquisite service to guests on Sunday, January 26, 2014 from 5:00-10:00 pm. Specifically, they're looking for skilled volunteers to fill the roles of General Manager, Server, Kitchen Help, and Wine Expert/Sommelier.
 
RAMW is looking to its members to help find experienced volunteers for this special event. If you or anyone else you know is interested, sign up to volunteer at www.surveymonkey.com/s/snsvolunteers2014. Additional information about the event can be found at www.sipsandsuppers.org.

About the Organizations:

DC Central Kitchen uses food as a tool to change lives. Each day, the Kitchen serves up 10,000 balanced meals packed with fresh, local produce. Half of these meals are delivered to area homeless shelters, after-school programs, and other nonprofit organizations serving low-income DC residents. The other half are prepared in DC public and private schools, making DCCK the only nonprofit in America conducting a full-service healthy school meal program. They also offer an acclaimed Culinary Job Training program that empowers at-risk, unemployed adults to embark on new careers. Many program graduates go on to work in their busy kitchens, supporting DCCK’s direct service programs and social enterprise activities. To learn more, please visit www.dccentralkitchen.org.
