Humanitarian aid

Fund fresh meals for disaster survivors

World Central Kitchen, founded by chef José Andrés, mobilises local restaurants and cooks to provide fresh meals immediately after hurricanes, earthquakes, wars and other crises, with recent large-scale responses including Ukraine, Gaza, and various hurricanes and floods. CharityWatch gave it a Top-Rated "A+" grade in December 2025, with 91% of spending going to programmes.

Our take

Worth stating plainly, not glossing over: seven World Central Kitchen aid workers were killed in an April 2024 Gaza strike. That's relevant context for anyone weighing the operational risk of the conflict settings this organisation works in — not by itself a reason to avoid it, but worth knowing.
