World Central Kitchen

After the earthquake, in the refugee camp, at the edge of the war, on the flooded street, World Central Kitchen provides hot food to those in need across every border, every flag, and every line we draw between us. Hunger respects no such difference, and so neither does WCK. Whoever you are, wherever you come from, however you come to need, there is a plate waiting for you. Hospitality, to me, is one of our sacred values. To feed someone is to insist, plainly and without conditions, that their life matters. That is what it means to bring the sacred down to earth, and I can imagine no better way to begin a marriage than by helping to feed those we will never meet, in places we may never go, for no reason other than that they are hungry and they are human. Please consider honoring that mission with a gift to World Central Kitchen. We will match donations made through this fundraiser up to a total of $1000 . This matching commitment is additional to the charitable giving we would otherwise have made this year: any amount matched here is money we would not otherwise have donated.
