Since storms hit Lytle Creek, California, something powerful happened: neighbors came together. Residents cleared space so everyone had somewhere to go and shared what they had. When WCK arrived with meals for the community—it made an immediate difference. #ChefsForCalifornia

In Dumfries, Jamaica, beekeepers lost many of their hives after Hurricane Melissa. Without bees, crops suffer—and so do the farmers and families who depend on them. WCK stepped in with sugar and equipment to help feed surviving bees and support local beekeepers as they rebuild. #ChefsForJamaica

Since 2010, WCK has shown up fast because when people are hungry, the first meal matters as much as every one that follows. This milestone belongs to our teams, partners & supporters who make it possible.

Getting there fast is what we do—and in 2025, we moved faster than ever. When people are hungry, we can’t wait. They need help today, not tomorrow.
This year alone, WCK served 130 million+ meals. Everywhere we went, it started the same way: one sandwich, one plate of food. #ChefsForTheWorld (1/2)

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

I recently watched, with great surprise and disappointment, a weeklyshowpodcast segment in which you and other "personalities," gleefully mocked and derided the relatively small subset of individuals who continue to wear a face mask in public.
