The Chef Corps is our global network of 560 prominent culinary leaders who are on standby to help WCK get cooking as quickly as possible if a disaster strikes in their region. They make World Central Kitchen more nimble around the world and serve as passionate ambassadors of our mission. 

There’s a reason WCK is a chef-driven organization. Chefs are among the most trusted and connected people in their communities, uniquely positioning them to accelerate what we can accomplish when we arrive first to the frontlines. The networks they’ve built over time help us get cooking as quickly as possible. Using their local cultural knowledge, Chef Corps members also ensure we’re serving families with care and dignity.  

This year, Chef Corps members played a leading role in our responses everywhere from Los Angeles and Alaska to the Philippines, Spain, and Jamaica.

We invite you to get to our Chef Corps in an intimate way—by stepping inside their kitchens. We asked several members of this dedicated network to give us a tour. We hope you enjoy these special videos that take you from Texas, Georgia, and California to Spain and the Philippines. 

The Chef Corps is a global network of prominent culinary leaders who champion World Central Kitchen’s work providing fresh meals following crises. Thanks to their generosity, adaptability, and visibility, Chef Corps members are uniquely positioned to accelerate and amplify what WCK can accomplish when we arrive first to the frontlines.
