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

Sonam, director of Pumpernickel Bakery in Kathmandu, and his team have been baking fresh buns through the night for WCK. Sandwiches — or the local equivalent — are one of the first things we carry into a disaster zone. We never go into a community without food to offer while we listen to what people need. These are made with sriracha, cheese, meat, and pickles: portable, and suited to the local palate. The perfect first meal for our teams to carry to families affected by this crisis. jfo.bakery #ChefsForNepal

Meet Hlib. He's 10 years old and lives in Trudoliubivka in the Kherson region—a village that was under Russian occupation. When his family returned home, they found it burned to the ground. Now, they're rebuilding. But Hlib still has his dreams. He loves football because "the players are fast and very strong, and they always pursue their goals." His favorite player is Ronaldo. After games with his friends, he's enjoying WCK snacks. Our teams are on the ground across Ukraine, making sure kids like Hlib have the nourishment they need to keep dreaming, keep playing, and keep going. #ChefsForUkraine #FoodIsLife

Chef Oli is checking in from Caracas, base of WCK operations in Venezuela. As part of the second wave of WCK staff to reach the affected area, he's building on years of relationships that make rapid response possible. The partnerships, local connections, and volunteer networks established in 2019, 2022, and 2024 allowed us to begin serving meals immediately after the earthquakes. In times of disaster, hunger doesn't wait—and neither do our staff, partners, or volunteers. Together, we're getting fresh meals to the communities that need them most. #ChefsForVenezuela

Fire season is here. WCK is ready to respond. High temperatures, drought, and wildfires put communities to the test.

Because when a crisis hits, every minute counts. This fire season, we're ready. #ChefsForTheWorld #FoodIsLife La temporada de incendios llegó. WCK está lista para responder.
