Robert Egger has a lot going on in his head. Just ask him.
As a nonprofit entrepreneur, a serial searcher for ordinary people doing extraordinary things, a deeply deep thoughts kind of guy, Egger gives us something to ponder every week.
We ask. He yaks. We listen. And now you can, too. Listen to Egger’s single-breath exposition on the Prodigal Generation. Trust us, it’s the most entertaining few minutes you’ll spend today.
Egger is founder and President of the D.C. Central Kitchen,
the nation’s first “community kitchen,” where
unemployed men and women learn marketable culinary skills while donated
food is converted into balanced meals. Since opening in
1989, the DCCK has distributed over 20 million meals and helped 700 men
and women gain full-time employment.
Robert currently leads the V3
Campaign, which educates politicians to the economic
contributions of America’s nonprofit sector.
Robert speaks nationally and internationally on hunger and
homelessness, social enterprise, and nonprofit unity. For a complete
list if speaking engagements, or to access Robert’s op-ed, podcasts,
videos, or blogs, please go to www.robertegger.org.
