World Central Kitchen

In Gaza, WCK’s goal is clear: 1 million meals a day. Our Field Kitchens alone can’t meet the need, so we also support community-led kitchens where local chefs cook for their neighbors. Teams in our 45+ Community Kitchens prepare hot meals for displaced families in areas that our large kitchens can’t reach, especially where movement is restricted. #ChefsForGaza

Our team is now supporting families and first responders across four provinces and has served 7,900 meals to date. #ChefsForSpain A medida que los incendios forestales en España se expanden, también lo hace la respuesta de WCK.
