World Central Kitchen  (2010)

Volunteer for the World Central Kitchen.

To start providing meals, as quickly as possible, to people impacted by crises, WCK’s Relief Team works with professional chefs, logistics experts, local restaurants, and other established organizations.  Volunteers are also critical in making our work possible! This occasionally includes reaching out to our larger WCK community for support. We aim to work with local leaders from the impacted communities we serve because they have a deep knowledge of the area, culture, and people.
Supporting communities in times of crisis WCK responds to natural disasters, man-made crises, and humanitarian emergencies around the world. We're a team of food first responders, mobilizing with the urgency of now to get meals to the people who need them most. Deploying our model of quick action, leveraging local resources, and adapting in real time, we know that a nourishing meal in a time of crisis is so much more than a plate of food—it's hope, it's dignity, and it's a sign that someone cares.

As a disaster relief organization, our volunteer needs fluctuate with each response effort so we cannot predict when we will need your help. Before committing to volunteer, you must create a profile on Volunteer Hub using the button below. Once you are a member of the WCK Volunteer Corps, you will be able to view and sign up for any available volunteer opportunities. We regularly update our site based on our quickly evolving needs, so continue to check back if you do not see any current opportunities

While we do train our volunteers on site, you can expect to fulfill tasks like:

Hot food preparation

Sandwich making

Meal delivery by foot, car, or any means necessary!

Loading and unloading kitchen supplies

In some cases, we welcome children accompanied by adults. Different WCK kitchens will have varying capacity to accommodate younger helpers, so be sure to check the age requirement when signing up for a volunteer shift.

To keep our team, volunteers, and the communities we serve safe, we ask that all volunteers be fully vaccinated for Covid-19 in places where vaccines are readily available. Additional protocols are outlined on Volunteer Hub.
