WCKโ€™s #ChefsForGaza teams are working closely with Longer Tables Fund to support the Academies of Hope, schools where students can find connection and stability. In addition to serving hot meals, our teams provide essential supplies like desks, creating a space for children to learn.

WCKโ€™s #ChefsForMadagascar teams are working with local partners and volunteers to support communities in Toamasina impacted by Tropical Cyclone Gezani. Many of these volunteers were part of our previous response in Madagascar in 2022, and they did not hesitate to support their neighbors again.

As freezing temps & power outages strain Kyivโ€™s infrastructure, hospitals in the Ukrainian capital are facing one of the hardest stretches of winter. WCK is delivering wood pellets to help heat hospitals, ensuring patients receiving emergency & cardiac care are not left in the cold. #ChefsForUkraine

13-year-old Ali came running when he heard that his mother had received a WCK #Ramadan Kit. He knew that the kit, which is specially built for Palestinian families observing Ramadan this month, contains sweets that are extremely difficult to access in Gaza. #ChefsForGaza

WCK teams are serving hot meals to communities in Chile impacted by recent wildfires, and this weekend, every meal came with a rose or a chocolate to celebrate Valentine's Day. In times of crisis, a small moment of comfort & connection is a reminder to families that theyโ€™re not alone. #ChefsForChile

In Monterรญaโ€™s El Dorado neighborhood, floods have left families trying to save what little they have left. WCK is on the ground, showing up where help hasnโ€™t reached yet. Working with locals like Mariela, we listen to the community to ensure they get the support they need. #ChefsForColombia

๐Ÿ“ขLatest update from Madagascar!

As #Ramadan approaches, take a look at WCK's #ChefsForGaza Ramadan food kits! In Gaza, hunger is a daily reality for many Muslim families, not a purposeful reflection. Our Ramadan kits are packed with dates, nuts, sweets, and more to help community members break their fast in a meaningful way.

When floods cut off the Colombian town of Las Palomas, the best way in was by boat.
WCK's team loaded up everything needed to cook a comforting pot of sancocho and headed outโ€”bringing food, care, and a little sense of normalcy to neighbors whoโ€™ve been isolated by the waters. #ChefsForColombia

No matter the age, hunger affects everyone. Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re introducing WCKโ€™s #ChefsForUkraine Baby Kitsโ€”created to support the smallest members of our communities. Each kit includes cereals, proteins, and purรฉes, helping ensure babies have what they need when food access is disrupted.

In a restaurant with 20 other people, there's a 1-in-4 chance of a COVlD exposure today, if nobody is testing/isolating. Risk is higher in the Northeast and especially the Midwest, lower elsewhere.

From Salam Kitchen in Gaza, WCKโ€™s Wadhah shares what comes next for our teams.
After reaching 1 million meals a day despite closed borders, limited supplies, and constant challenges, the focus now is on rebuildingโ€”together. The goal: strengthen communities for the long term.

I saw someone
buying roses
and I thought:
maybe thatโ€™s love.

I saw someone
carrying chocolates
and I thought:
maybe thatโ€™s love.

I saw someone
entering a jewelerโ€™s
and I thought:
maybe thatโ€™s love.

And I saw someone
wearing a mask
and I thought:
thatโ€™s definitely love.

Floodwaters cut off the town of Las Palomas in Cรณrdoba, Colombia, leaving the community temporarily isolated. Neighbors quickly organized a small community kitchen to support one another. As soon as it was safe, WCK brought ingredients & kitchen supplies to help them keep cooking. #ChefsForColombia

Why do I wear a respirator mask in all public spaces?

Because I know that Covid-19 constitutes an ongoing threat to my well-being.

Because I understand that preventing infection is an urgent necessity.

Because I feel morally obligated to resist the spread of harmful contagion.

Most people pay no heed to the extreme danger of Covid-19, and as a result, most people are suffering repeated infections that cause irreparable harm.

And those that pay no heed risk infecting everyone they profess to loveโ€ฆover & over again.
Babies, children, family members that have serious health problems including being immunocompromised.
Itโ€™s insanity & feels quite hopeless.
A new neighbor is a doctor and asked me why I mask. SMH.

When WCK first tried to reach the town of Las Palomas in Cรณrdoba, Colombia, the floodwaters were too high for our teams to travel safely. We worked quickly to find a solution, and now weโ€™re serving meals to families in this community that was isolated for several days. #ChefsForColombia

Ride along with a WCK truck, loaded with ingredients & supplies, as it makes its way to one of our Gaza Field Kitchens! ๐Ÿšš
