Relief Team in Tennessee after devastating tornadoes
World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is on the ground in Tennessee supporting families impacted by a series of storms and tornadoes that displaced and left thousands of people across the state without power.
Working alongside Big Al’s Deli, our longtime partner in Nashville, our teams are providing hundreds of sandwiches in the hardest hit parts of the state.
The storms hit central Tennessee over the weekend, destroying hundreds of homes and killing at least 6 people. One of the tornadoes in Nashville hit with winds reaching 125 miles per hour. Another tornado traveled dozens of miles, causing widespread devastation across two counties. Nearly 20,000 people remained without power as of Monday morning.
WCK Relief Team members are in hard-hit communities in central and northern Tennessee to assess needs. As we always do, we are bringing meals and water to offer immediate relief and will determine if more support is necessary.
This is a quickly evolving situation. You can sign up to our newsletter to receive more information and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook for real time updates.
Help us provide food to impacted families.
