Over 300 million meals provided — this is the scale of humanitarian aid delivered by World Central Kitchen @WCKitchen and its founder, @chefjoseandres , since the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine. This work does not stop for a single day. A brief brief on how this system operates: Scale: The organization has reached over 1,000 cities and towns across Ukraine, including de-occupied territories and frontline zones. Resources:
Distributed more than 11 million grocery and vegetable kits to families. Drinking Water: Delivered over 2.3 million gallons (more than 8.7 million liters) of clean water.Emergency Response:
Completed over 600 rapid deployments to strike sites, providing food to survivors and first responders within the very first hours of an attack. Local Support: WCK does not just import aid - they fund Ukrainian restaurants and bakeries. This supports our local economy and keeps Ukrainians employed. Operations continue where logistics are the most challenging. We thank every Ukrainian chef and volunteer within WCK who shows up for shifts every single day despite air raids and blackouts.

Ice and cold water distribution at La Guaira….@WCKitchen we have up to 6 trucks doing this all day long, refilling our feeding stations and distributing all across to keep search and rescue teams hydrated and with cold water! #ChefsForVenezuela

Boots on the ground in La Guaira, Venezuela, with our @wckitchen teams. In the worst situations…the best of humanity shows up! Neighbors searching for neighbors, in the rubble, with their bare hands. Volunteers working all day in the heat, without rest, never giving up. We’re here to support them all with food, water & hope. #ChefsForVenezuela

Across La Guaira .@WCKitchen teams are delivering ready-to-eat meals and essential supplies to families, volunteers, and first responders working near collapsed buildings.
Many people have spent days waiting for news of their loved ones. WCK continues serving hot meals, sandwiches, water, and ice where communities need them most. #ChefsForVenezuela

This photo is HOPE. The hope of finding someone alive. Of hearing a metallic tap on a pipe, a whisper calling for help. Sometimes with no equipment at all — just bare hands and hope. Families, friends, Hope is powerful. Sometimes it’s all we have left….😞🙏🫶🏻

There’s a moment when our @wckitchen teams, alongside the rescue crews in Venezuela, stop what they’re doing and listen for signs of life beneath the rubble. It’s the hardest moment for everyone, especially families searching for their loved ones, like José Miguel Montilla. His daughter and his son-in-law remain trapped beneath the collapsed debris. Rescue teams have located them, but José Miguel says the waiting is unbearable.
The need for rescuers and heavy equipment is overwhelming. Neighbors have become first responders, digging, lifting, and searching with whatever tools and strength they have, standing side by side with the professionals. Because of safety concerns, our @wckitchen teams are delivering water and food by hand, ensuring that every responder, volunteer, and family member receives support where they are. #ChefsForVenezuela

.@WCKitchen Foodtrucks are a great way to deploy efficiently and fast. This one is at polideportivo Jose Maria Vargas.
More food trucks being deployed every day!!!! #ChefsForVenezuela

One bite can mean a lot. It’s a moment to rest. It’s a message that somebody cares.
After a long day helping with cleanup, Jeremy Vargas enjoys an arepa provided by the @wckitchen team in La Guaira. In these hard times, a comforting meal can mean the world. #ChefsForVenezuela

The scale of destruction and suffering in Venezuela is overwhelming. But that is no reason to stand on the sidelines. @WCKitchen We can take the small steps to help: meals for the rescue teams, sandwiches for the families, conversations with the people doing the hard work. To share the message: the world stands with you. #ChefsForVenezuela

Luis from @wckitchen is on the ground in Caracas where the earthquakes damaged buildings all over the city. We are already serving meals and quickly expanding to other towns...We will be there with the urgency of now to make sure everyone has food and water! #ChefsForVenezuela

Today’s attacks on humanitarian workers are war crimes. The world cannot accept this as normal. Too many aid workers have died like this around the world. Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council but it attacks UN and WCK vehicles in Kherson, Ukraine. While the aid workers survived unharmed, one resident died. This war needs to end now. The suffering needs to end now. We are an American-based NGO @realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS @SecRubio #ChefsForUkraine

Today, families all over the world celebrate Eid al-Fitr. We are honored to have been part of that in Gaza. Through the holy month of Ramadan, @wckitchen made sure families could gather together to end a long day of fasting. Our teams on the ground delivered Ramadan boxes with enough halal staples to prepare 70 meals. We delivered tens of thousands of them, which meant millions of meals.
Our work in Gaza is far from over. This is a season of renewal and rebirth across the world, across cultures and religions. Nowhere is that needed more than the Middle East right now. You can still help get more boxes to the people who need them most. Learn more at wck.org/ramadan-2026

This war in the Middle East is changing quickly and so are the teams @wckitchen. Thousands of families in southern Lebanon have been told to evacuate, many for the second or third time. The shelters aren’t ready for them. Our job is to remind them that somebody somewhere cares, with a simple hot meal and maybe a taste of home. We are cooking from six kitchens, including three in Beirut, and will be ramping up. We had to close three kitchens in what has become a high risk zone. We keep adapting, cooking, feeding, for as long as we are needed. #ChefsForMidEast
