World Central Kitchen (WCK) is a not-for-profit non-governmental organization devoted to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters. Founded in 2010 by celebrity chef José Andrés, the organization prepared food in Haiti following its devastating earthquake. Its method of operations is to be a first responder and then to collaborate and galvanize solutions with local chefs to solve the problem of hunger, immediately following a disaster.[1][2]

Disaster relief

Since its founding, the NGO has organized meals in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, and in Cambodia.[3][4][5]

World Central Kitchen and Andrés emerged as a leader of the disaster relief efforts in Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria in 2017. World Central Kitchen served more than 3,000,000 meals. Its founder wrote a 2018 book about the experience called We Fed an Island: The True Story of Rebuilding Puerto Rico, One Meal at a Time.[6]

In August 2017, WCK was coordinating efforts with the American Red Cross and working in Houston, Texas following Hurricane Harvey.[7]

WCK operated in Southern California in Ventura County during the December 2017 Thomas Fire to assist firefighters and first responders and provided food to families affected by the fires.[8]

A kitchen to serve the Hawaiian communities affected by a volcanic eruption in June 2018 was set up.[1]

In September 2018, WCK worked in South Carolina in the aftermath of Hurricane Florence.[9]

In November 2018, WCK and Andrés teamed up with chefs Guy Fieri, and Tyler Florence, and local Sierra Nevada Brewing Company to bring Thanksgiving dinner to 15,000 Camp Fire survivors in Butte County, California.[10][11]

In January 2019 WCK and Andrés opened a restaurant on Pennsylvania Ave, Washington DC to feed federal workers that were furloughed during the government shutdown.[12]

Recognition

  • For his work with WCK, José Andrés won the 2018 James Beard Foundation Award for Humanitarian of the Year.[13]
  • Recognizing his work with WCK, José Andrés was named one of the world's 100 most influential people by Time in 2018.[14]
