January Donation
Added 2025-02-03 17:06:01 +0000 UTCHi friends!
We continue to be blown away by your support. Welcome to all the new “partners in crime” that have joined us this month. Thank you to you all!
2025 has been off to a rocky start with the wildfires burning in California and the plane crashes in DC and Philadelphia. At both devastating events, and others around the world, World Central Kitchen has been there to support first responders and the people affected by these tragedies.
We continue to donate 25% of the money we make to charitable organizations each month. Our income fluctuates with ad revenue and that has been down this month significantly but your generosity and support have been amazing. We donated $400 this month. So much love to you all ♥️
Here’s a bit WCK from their website:
Food is essential to life every single day, all over the world—and it is more important than ever in a crisis. Not only is a thoughtful, freshly prepared meal one less thing someone has to worry about in the wake of a disaster, it is a reminder that you are not alone, someone is thinking about you, and someone cares. Food has the power to be the nourishment and hope we need to pick ourselves back up in the darkest times.
In 2010, Chef José Andrés, ready to use his culinary knowledge and talent to help, headed to Haiti following a devastating earthquake. Cooking alongside displaced families in a camp, he was guided on the proper way to cook black beans the way Haitians like to eat them: mashed and sieved into a creamy sauce. It wasn’t just about feeding people in need—it was about listening, learning, and cooking side by side with the people impacted by the crisis. This is the real meaning of comfort food, and it’s the core value that José, along with his wife Patricia, used at the center of founding World Central Kitchen.
