Getting there fast is what we do—and in 2025, we moved faster than ever. When people are hungry, we can’t wait. They need help today, not tomorrow.
This year alone, WCK served 130 million+ meals. Everywhere we went, it started the same way: one sandwich, one plate of food. #ChefsForTheWorld (1/2)

In Ukraine, we provided residents with seed packets & laying hens so they could have a reliable source of food. In Haiti, we worked with longtime local partners to support families displaced by violence. In every community we served, we witnessed strength & perseverance. #ChefsForTheWorld (2/2)

Hurricane Helene in Asheville, wildfires in LA, and flooding in Texas—these are just 3 of WCK’s responses in the US in 2025. Each community needed something different after disaster struck, so we listened & worked with impacted residents to help lead their own recovery efforts. #ChefsForTheWorld

Community is stronger than a crisis. @wckitchen sees the best of humanity when things are worst: people impacted by disaster supporting each other. In 2025, we worked directly with communities to help them recover after disasters, one meal at a time. #ChefsForTheWorld

Every year, we’re reminded of something powerful: community is stronger than crisis. At World Central Kitchen, we see it again and again—when disaster strikes, the very people most impacted are the ones who step up to care for their neighbors. That is the heart of our work. #ChefsForTheWorld (1/2)
