World Central Kitchen Information

Founded in 2010 by Chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen (WCK) is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises while working to build resilient food systems with locally led solutions. When disaster strikes, WCK’s Chef Relief Team steps out of the kitchen and on to the front lines to provide freshly made, nutritious meals to those in need. To date, WCK has served more than 10 million meals in the aftermath of natural and man-made disasters. Through locally-led approaches, our long-term programs advance human and environmental health, offer access to professional culinary training, create jobs, and improve food security for the people we serve.
