Zaytinya by José Andrés | Washington, DC | June 19, 2022

You are cordially invited to a cocktail reception during the 2022 National Charter School Conference hosted by HJ Sims and EPIC Insurance Brokers. Join us for drinks and hors d’oeuvres at the world-renowned DC restaurant, Zaytinya by José Andrés on Sunday, June 19, 2022 from 5:00-7:30pm. 

HJ Sims and EPIC will be making a donation to José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen in honor of charter schools.

José Andrés has been widely recognized for both his culinary and his humanitarian work. He is a visionary and a humanitarian, establishing World Central Kitchen (WCK) in 2010 as a means for feeding the many – using culinary training programs to empower communities and strengthen economies as well as food disaster relief in the wake of emergencies around the globe.

WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. They build resilient food systems with locally led solutions. WCK currently has teams active in 110 cities and towns in Ukraine delivering over 8 million pounds of food to families—some in areas completely cut off due to fighting and near the Russian border.
