Capitol Area Food Bank

Washington, DC

Bell Design, Inc. is helping the Capital Area Food Bank reimagine their 15 acre campus in northeast Washington, DC. CAFB provides 30 million meals to half a million area residents every year while also running multiple education programs addressing nutrition and fresh food insecurity. Phase 1 is a renovation of their demonstration garden and Urban Food Studio, where people come to learn how to grow and cook fresh garden foods in an outdoor kitchen. Phase 1 improvements include new universally accessible garden pathways, new water and electrical connections sized for future expanded programming, attractive new garden fences, new shade and screening trees (in conjunction with DC non-profit Casey Trees), new seating, and new outdoor kitchen appliances generously donated by the home and kitchen appliance experts AJ Madison and Marriot.
