Only a small number of residents still remain in the village of Barvinok & they’re coming together to support one another. WCK provides food & water here because access to both is limited. When we make our deliveries, residents with cars pick up supplies for their neighbors as well. #ChefsForUkraine

20-year-old Ali lost his father in a strike in Lebanon, leaving him without immediate family. He joined the team at WCK's Kfour kitchen, a hub of our relief efforts in Lebanon. Today, he's found a new sense of belonging as he supports our chefs and ensures the kitchen stays clean. #ChefsForMidEast

Update from WCK’s Yasmin in Nepal📍 The flooding in Nepal washed away several bridges across the Trishuli River. We met a group of residents operating a ropeway box to ferry people across. We distributed hot meals to these volunteers to sustain them while they help their neighbors. #ChefsForNepal

For Nataliia, a greenhouse is a way to put down roots again. She & her husband were displaced from their home in Veselianka & they are rebuilding their lives on the other side of the river in Ruchaivka. A local resident gave them a home & this spring WCK also provided her with a greenhouse. (1/2)

Join the team at WCK’s Salam Field Kitchen as they prepare today’s meal: a hearty meat and vegetable medley packed with green beans, peppers, carrots, and more. Once the pots are filled and loaded into vans, our team distributes them to displaced families in central Gaza. #ChefsForGaza

As more families evacuate from their homes in frontline areas, the city of Dnipro in eastern Ukraine remains a key destination for people fleeing their communities that are under threat of attack. It’s also where Chef Vitalii has been cooking for these evacuees since 2022. (1/2)

In Nepal, residents and community organizations fuel WCK's work. Our partners at Nepal Scouts are visiting our kitchen at Chandi Basic School, which has been repurposed as a community center after the recent flooding. There, they cooked, served meals, and connected with families. #ChefsForNepal

As a new school year begins, WCK teams in Gaza are helping welcome students back to their classrooms. We’re repurposing wooden pallets from our kitchens & transforming them into desks. Instead of being discarded, the pallets are being given a new life—because nothing goes to waste. #ChefsForGaza

When WCK teams learned that families in Swara Valley, Nepal, had to travel across dangerous terrain to access fresh water, we decided to bring the water to them. With our local partners, we laid flexible pipes to bring water to the families living in tents after the recent landslides. #ChefsForNepal

Nani has lived in Mastaban Bairini, Nepal, for 30 years and was inside her home when the flash flooding swept through her community. She told WCK that her brother, who lives next door, warned her that the flood was coming just in time for her and her goats to get to higher ground. (1/2)

A simple drawing can tell a whole story. Fresh produce is incredibly difficult to access in Gaza, and many families have gone without it for months. For children, this means not being able to enjoy some of their favorite snacks. (1/2)

Nina fled from her home in Novoselivka, Ukraine as Russian forces advanced on it. When she finally returned, her home had been destroyed. Today, WCK brought Nina a food kit. These kits are stocked with ingredients she can use to cook for herself again, a step toward rebuilding. #ChefsForUkraine

In Haitian cuisine, many dishes aren’t complete without epis: a blend of spices, peppers, onion, parsley, and garlic. WCK and HAS Haiti’s #ChefsForHaiti teams infuse epis into lots of our recipes as we prepare meals for families impacted by violence. Join us as we prepare today’s batch.

Alongside our partner HEAL Palestine, WCK teams shared the joy of cooking with families at the Al-Shati Boy’s School shelter in Gaza. These displaced families have no kitchens to cook on their own, so we brought the kitchen to them—filled with the familiar smells of home. #ChefsForGaza

A food kit might seem simple, but it can make a world of difference to a child in Gaza. This week, WCK delivered food kits with treats like biscuits to children at hospitals. The food will help fuel their recovery, but it will do something just as important: bring them a moment of joy. #ChefsForGaza

In Ukraine, attacks often happen at night, leaving families without their homes, food, and water. This is especially true for families living on the front lines, which is why WCK’s Frontline Kits are packed with meals they don't need to cook. Learn more about our #ChefsForUkraine survival kits ⬇️
