On behalf of all the crew around the world, we would like to say Thank you for your unconditional support. Your hard work is much appreciated by all of us.
World Central Kitchen was founded by Chef José Andrés in 2010 after the devastating earthquake in Haiti with the belief that food can be an agent of change. We have expanded globally and have developed into a group of chefs creating smart solutions to hunger and poverty. Since the World Central Kitchen's inception, their work has affected communities in Brazil, Cambodia, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Nicaragua, Zambia, and the United States.
