Charity Donation
We sent a donation to World Central Kitchen (WCK) and thought you might like to know something about them.
They are an American charity which set up kitchens serving hot, nourishing meals to those fleeing Ukraine who are now in Poland, Romania, Moldova, and Hungary. They are also partnering with restaurants inside Ukraine to get hot meals to anyone in need.
They are serving 250,000 hot meals every day with more than 3.5 million meals served so far.
In addition to freshly prepared meals, they have distributed over 2,000 tons of food to cities across Ukraine
