WCK's Response to US Winter Storm (Jan. 2026)

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is on the ground in 13 states as a severe winter storm blankets large swaths of America. In collaboration with our network of local restaurant partners and Chef Corps members, we are working to serve hot meals and hot drinks to families impacted by power outages, limited access to roadways, and to emergency crews. This remains a quickly evolving situation.

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 food trucks or emergency kitchens, WCK provides freshly made, nutritious meals to communities impacted by disasters quickly and effectively. We know that good food provides not only nourishment, but also comfort and hope, especially in times of crisis.

With over 600 million meals served globally, WCK continues to bring relief, one plate at a time. Your donation today fuels this mission—helping us reach more people, faster, when they need it most.
