Anna Sudha Community Kitchen was established in early 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic had significantly changed the food landscape in Northern Virginia and saw a marked increase in food insecurities. Unemployment was high. The lines at food banks were long, and grocery shelves were bare because of interruptions in supply chains. People had stocked up on shelf-stable groceries and were not getting fresh, healthy, nutritious meals.
Anna means 'food' and Sudha means 'nectar of love'. Anna Sudha Community Kitchen was founded by Nupur Panjabi out of her home kitchen in early 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic. She realized that the pandemic had significantly changed the food landscape in Northern Virginia and saw a marked increase in food insecurities. Unemployment was high. The lines at food banks were long, and grocery shelves were bare because of interruptions in supply chains. People had stocked up on shelf-stable groceries and were not getting fresh, healthy, nutritious meals. It was her dream to make freshly prepared food accessible to anyone who simply desired it.
Since then Anna Sudha rents a commercial kitchen in Dulles Town Center and undertaken various initiatives...
We decided to give back to our community to close the gaps in food insecurity. We envisioned a community where good-quality, nutritious, home-cooked food was accessible to all and started cooking out of a home kitchen. Having access to affordable, freshly cooked food is a basic human right that many people do not have. This is why we do what we do. Join us in furthering our mission!
Unlike most non-profit meal services that rely heavily on grants and external funds to operate, we raise funds by offering daily meals and catering and cooking events. This alongwith donations and community support keep our day-to-day operations going plus allow us to provide fresh, nutritious meals to shelters and home-bound seniors, which is the core of our mission—spreading love through food.
