Chefs For Israel
In Israel, tens of thousands of Israeli civilians have been forced to evacuate due to the escalating conflict along the northern border. Thousands of vulnerable individuals—mostly seniors and disabled people—remain unable to flee due to medical limitations and are caught in the border crossfire. WCK is providing these groups with nutritious hot meals, along with dry and fresh food supplies. Many have been confined to their homes and shelters for months, as missiles continue to hit the region multiple times a day. Our efforts ensure they receive essential nourishment and a touch of humanity during this ongoing crisis. As Israeli hostages returned home, we delivered meals to the hospitals where they received checkups and were reunited with their families.
In mid June 2025, the escalation of hostilities between Israel and Iran triggered widespread air raid sirens and forced thousands into shelters. WCK responded immediately through local partners to provide meals to impacted families.
WCK is scaling our response to reach people who are unable to safely access food due to ongoing attacks across Israel. WCK is focused on those most severely affected by the conflict — including elderly individuals, people living with disabilities, and others who are effectively confined to their homes.
Meet Nadiia
Nadiia fled her native Ukraine in search of safety following Russia’s full scale invasion. Now in Israel, she works at a WCK restaurant partner that provided meals to families impacted by conflict in June of 2025. “Even when you don’t have much, it’s important to find ways to give—good deeds matter,” she said.
Nourishing meals for evacuees
Hotels in Tel Aviv housed evacuees from areas affected by the Israel-Iran hostilities. Working with restaurant partners, WCK ensured nourishing meals reached people in need, including the most vulnerable populations like children and seniors.
We didn’t understand the scale of the disaster until we arrived with the food and saw the people. WCK handles the logistics—everything runs smoothly, 24/7. This organization is doing something marvelous.

“Without WCK, we couldn’t prepare food for thousands of people. It is so incredible that these people can receive warm food and know that people are caring for them.”
Help us provide food to families in need.
