In Huliaipole, Ukraine, Russian encroachment has forced families out of their homes and into long journeys to escape shelling. That’s why WCK teams are there, standing by local residents as we supply them with food kits to help them find a moment of comfort on their way to safety. #ChefsForUkraine
WCK's #ChefsForUkraine team just opened 9 new kitchens in a dormitory in Kharkiv where many displaced families have been sheltering. Hear from WCK's Inna and Yullia about our new kitchens here: world-central-kitchen.visitlink.me/sYU7m8
Before the war, Raisa grew her own food in her garden. Today, the 85-year-old lives in a community for displaced families. Through WCK's Seeds of Hope program, she is returning to that feeling, planting seeds in a local greenhouse and tending to something that will grow. #ChefsForUkraine
Ukraine faced its largest single-day drone attack of the war this week. Russia launched nearly 1,000 drones in just 24 hours. WCK teams responded across several cities with meals for affected residents and recovery kits for people hospitalized after the strikes. #ChefsForUkraine
In Kharkiv, children from the Kupiansk frontline community are continuing their education in bomb shelters. WCK teams are serving hot meals to students at one of these shelter schools to make sure every child has a nourishing meal to fuel their day. #ChefsForUkraine
When a Ukrainian Railways train was delayed by Russian strikes, WCK teams were on the platform to provide meal kits packed with ready-to-eat food to families waiting to resume their journey. These kits are one more way WCK stays ready to support communities wherever they need us. #ChefsForUkraine
Yurii was watching TV at home in Mykolaiv when he heard an engine-like sound approaching. Seconds later, an explosion rocked the building.
In the aftermath, WCK teams served Yurii and his neighbors—along with first responders—hot meals, snacks, and drinks. #ChefsForUkraine
Over the weekend, Ukraine faced another wave of large-scale missile and drone attacks targeting residential areas and transport infrastructure across multiple regions. WCK responded simultaneously across several cities—serving meals to residents, rail passengers & first responders. #ChefsForUkraine
Women are leading WCK's Ukraine efforts—one of the largest humanitarian food responses in the world. From coordinating emergency responses after attacks to managing logistics, partnerships & field operations, they are making sure nourishing meals reach communities in need. #ChefsForUkraine
An overnight missile & drone attack disrupted rail service across Ukraine. WCK teams responded simultaneously across several cities to reach passengers stranded by delays. In Kyiv, Lviv, Khmelnytskyi, Dnipro & Shepetivka, we delivered hundreds of meals to passengers on 11 trains. #ChefsForUkraine
Passengers traveling from Dnipro to Kovel endured a frightening night after Russian drone attacks forced them off the train twice to shelter in the cold. In a 2-minute stop, WCK teams moved through all seven cars—making sure every passenger had soup & sandwiches for the road ahead. #ChefsForUkraine
WCK was on the ground in Kryvyi Rih and Zaporizhzhia after Russian attacks.
In Kryvyi Rih, families were left without utilities. In Zaporizhzhia, strikes injured civilians & disrupted essential services.
WCK served hot meals to residents, providing immediate support to communities.

Olha lives in a multi-story building in Odesa that remains without gas following Russian attacks. For her and her neighbors, cooking at home isn’t possible. That’s why neighbors are gathering at WCK-supported Invincibility Points, where hot food and a sense of community are waiting.
#ChefsForUkraine
When additional support is needed, our teams help keep meals going without interruption. Since launching the first kitchen in December 2024, we’ve expanded to 40 kitchens in cities across the country—standing alongside communities as they care for one another. #ChefsForUkraine (2/2)
Across Ukraine, WCK community kitchens are creating spaces of warmth, dignity, and resilience.
Set up in shelters and temporary housing, these kitchens are equipped with the tools families need to cook for themselves—restoring choice and comfort during uncertain times. #ChefsForUkraine (1/2)
Neighbors gather at warming centers known as “Points of Invincibility” to receive a hot meal, warm up, and charge their phones—small moments of comfort and connection during incredibly difficult days.

For over a week, WCK has been supporting residents of Odesa during ongoing blackouts—serving hot soup to families without electricity or gas.
Across the city, many apartment buildings remain in the dark. #ChefsForUkraine (1/2)
These long-term support projects are about more than ensuring people have reliable access to fresh ingredients and hot meals—they bring hope, comfort, and stability to families in need. Read more: wck.org/news/ukraine-2026/ #ChefsForUkraine (2/2)
We also create special children’s kits filled with nutrient-packed snacks and sweet treats—bringing moments of comfort and joy to Ukrainian kids living through war. Read more: wck.org/news/ukraine-2026/ #ChefsForUkraine (3/3)

World Central Kitchen regularly provides hot meals to passengers during emergency situations. But when we cannot safely deliver hot food where it’s needed, we activate a new solution — the UZ Meal Kit.
It’s simple but meaningful support for those spending extra time on the road #ChefsForUkraine
For the past three nights, the people of Odesa have endured intense Russian airstrikes, leaving families without consistent access to power, heat, and water. In response, WCK is supporting local “Points of Invincibility” where Ukrainians can gather for hot meals, water, and warmth. #ChefsForUkraine
WCK’s #ChefsForUkraine efforts constantly evolve to make sure communities receive the support they need. For families in frontline villages, ready-to-eat meals & cooking kits with portable stoves are more helpful than hot meals to provide reliable access to food even when they don’t have power.
As freezing temps & power outages strain Kyiv’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
No matter the age, hunger affects everyone. That’s why we’re introducing WCK’s #ChefsForUkraine Baby Kits—created to support the smallest members of our communities. Each kit includes cereals, proteins, and purées, helping ensure babies have what they need when food access is disrupted.
