First Alert: WCK Relief Team Expands Wildfire Relief to Southern France
World Central Kitchen is responding in Bordeaux, France, where wildfires have broken out in recent days. This effort is occurring at the same time as our teams are on the ground in central Spain, where wildfires forced families to evacuate across the region. As first responders work to contain the fire, WCK teams are mobilizing to make sure people have the food they need.
The Gironde region wildfire, like the fires in Spain, has forced thousands of families out of their homes, disrupted roadways, and limited access to food. Over 220,000 people have been displaced so far. Shifting winds have complicated containment efforts, and increasing numbers of communities have been placed on evacuation orders.
In tandem with our partners in Spain, our network of local restaurants and partners will be cooking for their neighbors and first responders.
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.
