WCK enters third year of #ChefsForUkraine
It has been two years since Russian forces launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. Life has never been the same for millions of Ukrainians living under constant threat. World Central Kitchen arrived in the region soon after the initial attack and our teams have provided meals to impacted communities every day since. Alongside our local partners, we have served more than 260 million meals to Ukrainians living through the darkest times imaginable.
As we enter the third year of our #ChefsForUkraine response, we are meeting the most pressing needs of families caught between the fighting in frontline communities. At the same time, our Emergency Response Team is working tirelessly to be at the sites of missile and rocket attacks wherever they may happen, supporting impacted families and first responders.
Food needs have shifted since the war began and we have never stopped adapting our approach, ensuring people get the support they need, when they need it. Our Ukrainian-led teams have brought much more than meals to neighbors in need. Each day we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Food Fighters of Ukraine to provide hope and a sense of home, one meal at a time.
We invite you to take a closer look at our work over the past two years and to learn more about how our teams are positioned to reach Ukrainians in need over the coming year. For more stories from the ground, join us on February 28 for a virtual event that will bring together many of the people that make our work in Ukraine possible—register here.
Continued support from people around the world has fueled our efforts in Ukraine. Now, thanks to a generous anonymous donor, all gifts made here will be matched up to $250,000. Help us ensure we can be there with nourishing meals for Ukrainians impacted by the war.
