This is the reality in Gaza: decimated communities, no food or water. People in places so hard to reach that a meal only arrives if we carry it there. Learn more about the conditions on the ground from WCK founder Chef José Andrés and why we need international support now.

Only a small number of residents still remain in the village of Barvinok, and they’re coming together to support one another. WCK provides food and drinking water for this community because access to both is limited. When we make our deliveries, residents with cars pick up supplies for their neighbors as well—making sure no one is forgotten. #ChefsForUkraine

WCK’s Karen checking in with the latest from Gre, Nepal📍 Families in Gre usually depend on the markets in low-lying areas along the Trishuli River for food. Unfortunately, flooding washed everything away, leaving entire communities without access to daily necessities. WCK is making regular helicopter deliveries to Gre to distribute staples like rice and oil, alongside other necessities like soap, to make sure residents have what they need as they recover. #ChefsForNepal

Checking in from Kathmandu, Nepal with WCK's John. 📍 Some communities have been cut off since the flash floods struck—unreachable by road or helicopter. So WCK assembled a team of experienced explorers who will drive as far as the terrain allows before trekking the rest of the way on foot. They're carrying essential medical supplies and meals, because no community should be left behind just because it's hard to reach. The knowledge we gain from this expedition will also help us map out areas where helicopters can deliver additional supplies—expanding our reach even further. We will keep you posted. #ChefsForNepal

WCK's first community kitchen in Nepal is up and running. 🍽️ At Shree Sundari Higher Secondary School in Gerkhutar—just north of Bidur—the Nepal Chefs Association is cooking breakfast, lunch, and dinner for families impacted by the floods. Today's menu: daal, rice, potatoes, and chicken. Together, we are building more kitchens like this across the region. By setting up kitchens directly in the hardest-hit communities, WCK ensures families have access to the freshest, most nourishing meals possible—cooked by local hands, as close to home as we can get. #ChefsForNepal

This is what road access looks like in Nepal after the floods. Over the weekend, with support from Nepal Scouts, a truckload of WCK kitchen supplies arrived at a school in Rasuwa, Nepal—and getting it there took five hours to travel just 7 miles. That's what access looks like in the hardest-hit areas after this week's devastating floods. WCK is setting up a kitchen at the school to prepare meals as close as possible to the families who need them most. And we won't stop; as soon as the truck returned to Kathmandu, it was loaded with equipment for another kitchen. #ChefsForNepal

WCK water tanks, capable of delivering up to 100,000 gallons of potable water per day, have arrived in Asheville, NC. Infrastructure damage from Hurricane Helene has created an acute water shortage in the area, so these trucks will provide desperately needed drinking water for impacted communities. #ChefsForNorthCarolina

"This is what you call loving humanity." - Hector, Los Topos Aztecas When WCK teams are at ground zero of a disaster, we're often working alongside volunteer rescuers from Los Topos Aztecas—a Mexico-based organization that mobilizes quickly to support communities in need across the world, just like WCK. In Colombia right now, we're making sure these rescuers have the meals they need to fuel their vital work. #ChefsForColombia “Eso se llama amar a la humanidad.” – Hector, Los Topos Aztecas Cuando los equipos de WCK se encuentran en la zona cero de un desastre, a menudo trabajamos junto a rescatistas voluntarios de Los Topos Aztecas.
