From the devastating DANA floods in Valencia to flooding across Central Europe and more recent emergencies in Spain, WCK has worked alongside local partners to provide fresh food to communities in the first hours and days after disaster strikes.

When disaster strikes, the relief efforts you see are often the final moment: a meal served, supplies delivered, money distributed. What you don’t see is the infrastructure that makes the moment possible. WCK activates the people, businesses, and systems already in place in a community. Local chefs, restaurants, and suppliers are the backbone of our responses around the world. By partnering with Amazon for logistics and infrastructure, and Ripple for modern financial tools, WCK rapidly moves food, resources, and funding to local teams on the ground. Join Fiona Merritt (WCK, VP of Response Administration), Meighan McLafferty (Amazon, Director of The Climate Pledge), and Jonathan Perri (Ripple, Director of Social Impact) for their Climate Week NYC panel “Reimagining Disaster Response at Scale” moderated by Linda Roth (WCK, Chief Communications Officer) to learn how we’re redefining disaster response at scale to quickly get meals to families who need them most. Because when disaster strikes, hunger can’t wait.
