We're excited to share that Dr. James Huang, Tambra Raye Stevenson, and Kristy McCarron have been reappointed to the Food Policy Council by Mayor Bowser and the DC Council! Learn more about them here:

In partnership with the DC Restaurant Opportunities Center (ROC) and Kaiser Permanente, the Office of Planning (OP) Food Policy Division will host an event on Wednesday, July 14 from 5:30 pm to 7 pm to highlight the rights and resources available to DC food workers. DC government agencies will share more about the processes that food workers can take to file claims on important issues in the workplace such as wage theft, sexual harassment, racial discrimination, and health and safety issues. OP and ROC will also share findings from its food worker listening series project as part of their continued implementation of Make Food Work, the District’s first workforce development strategy for food workers.

Mayor Bowser's Fiscal Year 2022 District budget includes exciting new investments to close the grocery gap, support locally-owned fresh food businesses, and strengthen existing grocery access programs. Learn more from the brief linked in our bio.

Join us next Thursday for our Small Food Business 101 Series: this one will focus on different food licenses, including cost, process, and pros/cons. We’ll hear from an awesome panel of DC business owners who have gone thru the process! Link for free registration in bio.

Join us TODAY at 4 pm for a discussion of the ReOpen DC Alcohol Act! We will hear from ABRA Director Fred Moosally about the bill and its potential impacts on local food businesses. Learn more and find call-in information AT dcfoodpolicy.org/meetings

Please join us on Wednesday, April 7 at 4 pm if you have experience sharing a commercial kitchen or if you have interest in sharing a kitchen in DC! We will have small group discussions as part of the meeting, and we are excited to learn from you and your experiences. See you then!
