Dryy & Prather’s on the Alley the Latest Examples of “MVT Acts of Kindness”
Tuesday April 28, 2020
As we all work together to counteract the impacts of COVID-19, countless “acts of kindness” continue to happen in our community and beyond. Today we recognize the goodwill of these two MVT businesses:
- Dryy, for spreading positivity, appreciation and discounts through its #LoadsOfLove campaign (see image, below) and related video.
- Prather’s on the Alley, for partnering with acclaimed Chef Jose Andres and his World Central Kitchen Initiative to safely distribute individually packaged fresh meals to those who need them most.

Prather’s on the Alley
Founded in 2010 by celebrity chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen (WCK) is a not-for-profit organization devoted to providing meals to people that need assistance during natural disasters (including COVID-19). Their team is working across America and throughout DC to safely distribute individually packaged fresh meals to communities that need support, for children and families to pick up and take home, frontline workers, as well as delivered to seniors who cannot go outside. WCK is in the process of collaborating with restaurants and meal delivery companies to not only serve food, but simultaneously support the industries that are suffering. This program is called Chefs for America, which is an evolving effort that will feed those in need, as well as guarantee a reliable and recurring stream of revenue for restaurants that are prepared to safely produce nutritious meals while providing income to delivery drivers. We are excited and proud that Mount Vernon Triangle restaurant, Prather’s on the Alley, is participating in this program alongside a handful of well-known DC establishments.
Prather’s on the Alley is cooking 300 meals per week, with a goal to increase these numbers to help our community. They are prepping nutritious comfort food that reflects the offerings on their menu. It’s important to the team at Prather’s on the Alley to give back to the community and power through this difficult time.
Prather’s on the Alley serves globally inspired cuisine and is open Thursday-Saturday for dinner only. Takeout and delivery options are available – including their well-known signature cocktails and an extensive wine list. Not hungry but looking to show your support for this neighborhood staple?
