WCK distributing meals in The Bronx, Queens, Harlem, Brooklyn & New Jersey

March 16, 2020

As the immediate and ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States continues to evolve, World Central Kitchen is working to identify needs across the country and how to respond most effectively. Beginning Tuesday, March 17, WCK will distribute thousands of fresh, individually packaged grab-and-go meals to local families.

These meals are available to anyone in the area who needs extra support during this uncertain time. Using our expertise as a food logistics organization, we are distributing meals at the designated sites listed below during lunchtime. They are individually-packed fresh meals, ready to heat at home.

Update 11/01/2020 — WCK’s meal and produce box distribution has concluded in New York City. If you are in need of food assistance, Lemontree Food Helpline offers a free phone/text line to help connect New Yorkers to free food and resources in their area. Please visit foodhelpline.org or call 888-489-7212 to access this resource.
