Make a difference and positively impact a life – it might even be your own! “Lend a Hand for Good” is an initiative facilitated by Mangia DC, where individuals and teams assemble 3D printed prosthetic hands using an easy-to-follow kit provided by Hands of Gratitude. The completed hands are then donated through the Hands of Gratitude Project to communities in need around the world. By participating in this meaningful team-building experience with Mangia DC, you contribute to a global cause, ensuring that your efforts directly benefit those who cannot afford prosthetic hands.

Mangia (pronounced: mahn-ja) means “eat” in Italian. Since 2013, we here at Mangia DC have been committed to helping out-of-town visitors and our fellow Washingtonians experience the taste of our nation’s capital through culinary experiences where our guests learn, enjoy, and —of course— eat!
In-person we do that by hosting tasting events, cooking classes, and food tours in Washington DC’s iconic neighborhoods. As we navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are safely reopening for private in-person events in accordance with CDC best practices and local mandates, in addition to continuing the fun virtual offerings we’ve cooked up over the past two years.
We can accommodate up to 300 participants.
While we love working with everyone in person, we’ve developed our online classes to be engaging and fun for participants. Our live-stream Lend a Hand for Good experience is recreational, educational, and a great team-builder!
Lend a Hand for Good typically lasts anywhere from 60-90 minutes, but it varies based on each group’s customizations.
The cost of the experience varies depending on the number of attendees and customization options. Please contact us for a quote.
