Righteous entrepreneur: doing right, while doing business

DC Central Kitchen is America's most ambitious community kitchen, serving up 13,000 meals daily to those in need. Founded in 1989 and located in the heart of Washington, D.C., a city battling some of the nation's highest homeless and poverty rates. The non-profit earns a whopping ten million annually and runs social ventures including an award-winning farm-to-school model, a training programme that recruits from prisons, and supplying fresh, affordable produce to corner stores in neighborhoods without supermarkets. Mike Curtain is the CEO of DC Central Kitchen. He calls himself a "righteous entrepreneur". Mike is the keynote speaker at The Aotearoa Food Rescue Alliance's (AFRA) national Hui being held on September 13th in Christchurch. Mike spoke with Susie Ferguson.
