Chefs For California

WCK provides meals in San Bernardino County, CA after historic rains and mudslides

December 26, 2025

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is on the ground in California, providing meals after heavy rains triggered major flooding in San Bernardino County. Working alongside local restaurant partners, teams are serving hot meals to families in the mountain communities of Wrightwood and Lytle Creek.

Severe storms swept across the U.S. West Coast beginning midweek and continuing through the Christmas holiday, causing destructive flooding and damage to homes and businesses. Mandatory evacuations remain in effect for several mountain towns—many still recovering from historic wildfires earlier this year. As residents wait for conditions to improve, World Central Kitchen is ensuring families have the meals they need. 

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