WCK’s deep experience responding across Spain allows our teams to move quickly and effectively when crises strike. Earlier this year, WCK teams responded in Ourense, serving first responders and impacted communities as wildfires raged across the region. We also served over 6 million meals in València during the 2024 DANA flooding, supporting the community through the holiday season and into the new year. Earlier this month, we concluded work in Ibiza after destructive floods swept through the island. 

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.
