In Bashtanka, a community in southern Ukraine, WCK teams met residents who were already cooking for their neighbors despite ongoing Russian strikes and extremely limited resources—preparing meals outside over a wood fire with whatever they had. Today, we're celebrating the opening of a new kitchen in this location, fully stocked with ovens, stoves, and a dishwasher. When communities show up for each other, WCK is there to help them reach further. #ChefsForUkraine #WCK #WorldCentralKitchen #human

That same compassion led her to WCK, where she now spends every day preparing warm, nourishing meals for communities in need.#ChefsForMidEast #FoodIsLife #WCK #WorldCentralKitchen #humanitarianaid

“We lost friends, we lost relatives, but we’re still here and we’re going to help the people who remain.” – Edson, Arazá After the earthquakes struck, people across Venezuela immediately tried to figure out how they could help.

For generations, Ukrainian families have become used to the rhythm of planting and harvesting. But, since 2022, the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has thrown that cycle out of rhythm. That’s why WCK #ChefsForUkraine teams launched our greenhouse initiative, making sure that displaced families have consistent access to their own food and get to experience the joy of growing something together. #FoodIsLife #WCK #WorldCentralKitchen #humanitarianaid
