How WCK built the largest relief operation in Ukraine: Meet the Food Fighters

By truck, by train, by passenger car, and van...A country-wide logistics network spanning dozens of warehouses...Hot meals, grocery kits, fresh ingredients, and shelf-stable packs...In big cities, small villages, and even Russian-occupied territory...

With your support, WCK has built the largest food relief operation in Ukraine, reaching more than 230 cities and towns and seven other countries, too. WCK has now served millions of meals. This work wouldn't be possible without the thousands of team members – cooking in restaurants, stocking warehouses, delivering meals, driving trucks – who work tirelessly to feed their neighbors in need, even while under attack themselves. These are the Food Fighters of Ukraine.

My mother in Ukraine, Sushko Tamila, 83 years old, received a grocery set from World Central Kitchen (in the village of Svitloghirske, Poltava region). Great gratitude to people with a big soul!!! This is a fight between good and evil. While some are bombing and shelling us, others are feeding us

imagine if we could eliminate war and use those resources for WCK type efforts. So grateful that these folks are making life a tiny bit better for Ukraine and others in the area. I thought the strategy of deploying food warehouses was brilliant.

In these unprecedented troubling times, we are often inclined to despair and anguish. Jose Andres and his army of volunteers remind us that we do have, saints and heroes who work tirelessly to help heal, to comfort those in need and to remind us of our responsibility to , in ever small ways to follow their examples. We are all brothers and sisters.
