Washington, DC, USA: Lineage Foundation for Good, the independent philanthropic arm of Lineage, will sponsor DC Central Kitchen’s 19th annual Capital Food Fight on Thursday.
The Foundation’s $50,000 contribution to Capital Food Fight will help further the shared mission of combating food insecurity, with all event proceeds benefiting DC Central Kitchen and bolstering local communities.
The Capital Food Fight, held at the Anthem, a music venue on the Southwest Waterfront in Washington DC, is a culinary battle showcasing four local chefs. The event was founded by chef José Andrés and includes more than 75 restaurants and corporate partners from the DC-Maryland-Virginia area.
“The partnership with DC Central Kitchen enables Lineage Foundation for Good to fulfil its mission of leveraging its resources to combat food waste and address food insecurity by linking food producers with the communities in need,” said Hannah Hoskins, executive director, Lineage Foundation for Good.
The Lineage Foundation for Good was established as a non-profit charity to serve the communities in which Lineage operates by tackling food insecurity. Since 2020, Lineage and the Lineage Foundation for Good have donated the equivalent of 312 million meals in partnership with customers donating surplus product, team members donating food to local food banks and unrestricted grants issued to help build capacity at food banks around the globe. The Foundation partners with Feeding America domestically as well as the Global FoodBanking Network internationally to enable redirection of surplus food to those in need.
