WCK deploys emergency food logistics to get meals to the Grand Princess

March 9, 2020

WCK is preparing breakfast, lunch, and dinner foods from an off-site kitchen in San Francisco for thousands of guests and crew on board the Grand Princess, currently docking in Oakland, California. With the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, WCK is providing meals for those currently onboard and will be handing out to-go lunches to disembarking passengers over the next few days. The crew may stay on board and we will continue to support them as long as we are needed, depending on how the situation evolves in the coming days.

This is a unique emergency situation, and WCK has experience preparing large numbers of meals in emergencies. We are experts at rapidly setting up kitchens and establishing safe logistics processes to get food to where it needs to go — whether in the middle of a hurricane in The Bahamas, cholera outbreak in Mozambique, after an earthquake in Puerto Rico, or in this case, during a viral epidemic. WCK is working closely with Princess, the State of California, and federal agencies to make sure everyone remains safe.
