WCK is responding in the Philippines after Mount Mayon, also known as the Mayon Volcano, erupted, forcing thousands of people to evacuate. Ash and smoke plumes are causing disruptions and posing health risks. As roadways in affected areas are cut off and many families have been displaced, WCK teams are en route to the region, where thousands of families are sheltering. We are connecting with community members and local restaurant partners to best serve families in need. 

In late 2025, WCK teams responded to a devastating magnitude 6.9 earthquake that struck the region around Cebu. During this time, we worked closely with longtime restaurant partners to ensure families had comforting meals. Less than a month later, our teams returned, working with many of the same restaurant partners, after Typhoon Kalmaegi struck the same region and caused power outages, infrastructure damage, and mass evacuations. 

Only a few days later, our operations expanded as Typhoon Uwan made landfall in the Luzon region. Between these three responses, WCK teams served over 2.9 million meals and worked side-by-side with restaurant partners who were the first to stand up for their communities. 

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.
