I have watched in disbelief the crisis unfolding in Ukraine, and I am moved by the perseverance the Ukrainian people are showing to protect their families and get them to safety, while also staying behind to defend their country. They are an example to the world, and they are the line in the sand that represents freedom.
Since this crisis began to unfold, I’ve wondered how I could help and this morning I made the decision to make a donation to the World Central Kitchen run by Chef Jose Andres. He and his organization mobilized day one to begin feeding refugees. His feeding operations are preparing meals for those fleeing Ukraine, serving meals at eight border crossings across the country and helping local restaurants to prepare meals in eight Ukrainian cities including Odessa, Lviv, and Kyiv, which have been greatly impacted. In addition to providing assistance in Ukraine, WCK is also on the ground in Romania, Moldova, and Hungary.
As a food industry, we grow nourishing foods, and together let’s help Chef Andres nourish a nation in need. I challenge your or your company to join me and make a donation to World Central Kitchen in any amount you can spare. You can give to the organization by clicking here.
