First Alert: WCK Responds to Spain Wildfires

July 10, 2026

World Central Kitchen is responding in Spain, where wildfires in the province of Almería, Andalusia, have forced thousands of families to evacuate their homes and caused several fatalities. High winds are spreading the blaze and impacting containment efforts. Our teams are mobilizing to make sure communities and first responders have the meals they need. 

In 2025, we served first responders and impacted families during wildfires in the Ávila‎ region. This comes during a time of increasingly severe wildfires across the world as weather patterns become more and more extreme.

In 2024, we responded to the devastating flooding in Valencia, where thousands of families were forced to evacuate and were living in shelters. During that time, we served over 6 million meals to these families. 

This remains a quickly evolving situation. You can sign up to our newsletter to receive more information and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Bluesky, and Facebook for real-time updates.
