World Central Kitchen responded in Colombia, where days of intense rainfall have triggered severe flooding, widespread power outages, and dangerous conditions that forced families from their homes. Working alongside local partners, our teams served meals to communities impacted by the storms.
Low-lying areas of the Córdoba department, particularly around Montería, experienced significant destruction as rivers overflow and floodwaters inundate neighborhoods, roadways, and farmland.
WCK teams worked with local partners, community leaders, Chef Corps members, and authorities to ensure meals reached anyone in need, including families sheltering after being forced from their homes.
