From the Judiciary Square 4th and D Street exit, head south on 4th Street NW, left on D Street NW, left on 1st Street NW, and then left into the service alley just south of Sandwiches by Phillip.

Parking: There is no on-site parking at our Main Kitchen. Limited parking is available in lots at Union Station, on E Street between 2nd and 3rd Streets NW, and on the street. There is metered parking along E Street NW, 1st Street NW and New Jersey Avenue NW, all within a block of the Kitchen.
All volunteers must be 12 years or older. Storage space for volunteer personal belongings is limited, so please plan to travel light. Weekday morning volunteers are invited to stay for lunch at 12:00 p.m.
DRESS CODE:
Safety is our number one concern. All volunteers must wear appropriate and professional attire suitable for an industrial production kitchen. Please wear closed toed shoes, sleeves and long pants. Shoes with high-grip soles are strongly recommended.
Due to health regulations, volunteers who do not follow this dress code will not be allowed to work in the Kitchen. Please remember:
No shorts or short skirts/dresses
No tights, spandex, leggings, or pajama pants
No tank tops or sleeveless shirts/dresses
No shirts with exposed midriff (front or back)
No open toed sandals or shoes
No clothing with crude or offensive words or images
No loose jewelry such as watches, bracelets, dangling earrings, and rings
No high heels
ATTENDANCE POLICY:
We rely heavily on the hard work of volunteers in order to effectively serve our community. If you schedule a volunteer shift and do not show up, DC Central Kitchen cannot serve the community to the best of our ability.
