Meet Polina: WCK’s Culinary Lead in Ukraine
World Central Kitchen’s Culinary Team is essential to ensuring the highest quality food reaches the communities we support. On the field, this team supervises kitchens, supports restaurant partners, and works collaboratively with our procurement and distribution teams to ensure the food we provide is nourishing and culturally appropriate.
We recently sat down with Polina, WCK’s Culinary Lead in Ukraine, to discuss how her team supports communities in need and what motivates her to show up day after day for Ukrainians living through Russia’s invasion. Originally from the Donbas region, Polina spent more than two decades in North America before returning to her homeland to support people impacted by the war. As part of WCK’s team, she oversees all the culinary functions of our work throughout the country.
