José Andrés Names Among TIME100 Most Influential People in Philanthropy 2025

May 20, 2025

We’re so proud to congratulate WCK founder José Andrés on being named one of TIME’s 100 Most Influential Philanthropists.

The honor reflects not only José’s unwavering belief in the power of food to bring people together, but also the global community that fuels WCK’s mission. Every meal we serve is made possible by the dedication of our teams and the strength of the communities we work alongside each day. Together, we’re showing what’s possible when we lead with compassion.

People don’t want our pity, people want our respect. I learned that we must listen when we’re trying to help the people of the world.

José Andrés
