WCK's Response to Community Displacement in Haiti (May 2025)

Waves of violence have displaced more than 100,000 people in Haiti’s Artibonite region, leaving families without food, clean water, and safe shelter. World Central Kitchen, together with our local partner Hospital Albert Schweitzer (HAS), is operating 26 community-led kitchens in towns like Verrettes, Liancourt, and Petite Rivière to provide nourishing meals during this urgent time.

Haitian women are running most of the kitchens, drawing on their experience as local food vendors to prepare traditional meals their communities know and love, restoring comfort, dignity, and hope one plate at a time. Together, we are serving 28,000 meals a day, sourcing ingredients from Haitian farmers and vendors like Farmer John’s of Haiti, which supplies much of the meat and protein served. Guided by local leadership and powered by your support, WCK will remain in Haiti through the end of the year.

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.

WCK has provided more than 450 million fresh, nourishing meals for communities around the world. Your donation today will be used to support our emergency food relief efforts.
