Social and political unrest escalated over the past months, compounding an existing humanitarian crisis in Haiti. Widespread violence in Port-au-Prince, the nation’s capital, displaced thousands of families.
To ensure we could support Haitians in as many ways as possible, we connected with local and international organizations, along with local women entrepreneurs whose businesses were disrupted by the chaos. These women work as food vendors and with WCK’s support they were again able to cook for their local communities.
WCK’s origins trace back to Haiti when José cooked alongside displaced families following the devastating 2010 earthquake. Since then, we have responded to four crises in the country, including a hurricane, earthquake, and the Covid-19 pandemic.
By the numbers:
* 751,000+ Hot Meals Served
* 7,430 Meal Kits Distributed
WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. When disaster strikes, WCK’s Relief Team mobilizes to the frontlines with the urgency of now to start cooking and provide meals to people in need. By partnering with organizations on the ground and activating a network of local restaurants, food trucks, or emergency kitchens, WCK serves comforting meals to survivors of disasters quickly and effectively. We know that good food provides not only nourishment, but also comfort and hope, especially in times of crisis.
