Team Change: A Conversation with Robert Egger

Robert Egger is a visionary in the nonprofit sector. He pioneered the “community kitchen” movement with DC Central Kitchen, turning donated food into both meals and opportunities through a revolutionary job training program. His initiatives, including founding board membership at World Central Kitchen with Chef José Andrés, have produced over 350 million meals and propelled thousands toward self-sufficiency. His book “Begging for Change,” now celebrating its 20th anniversary, made the case for a new model for the nonprofit sector, one he continues to advocate for today.
