Get Involved
Financial Support
Directly support World Central Kitchen’s response operations through donations or grants. Corporate and foundation partners can direct contributions toward specific programs, regions, or emergency responses—ensuring your support aligns with your social impact priorities while helping WCK deliver fresh, nourishing meals when and where they’re needed most.
Your investment enables us to act quickly in moments of crisis, support local economies, and sustain long-term solutions rooted in community.
Collaborate
Partner with World Central Kitchen to co-create innovative campaigns that bring your customers into our mission. From point-of-sale activations to cause-linked products and experiential moments, these collaborations are designed to inspire action, deepen customer connection, and extend the impact of your brand.
Working together, we develop thoughtful campaigns that feel authentic to your audience while helping deliver fresh, nourishing meals to communities facing crisis.
Employee Giving
Engage and inspire your workforce through employee giving and matching programs that make participation easy and impactful. By supporting match campaigns that can double, triple, or even quadruple employee contributions, companies empower employees to come together around a shared purpose and see the tangible difference their collective support makes.
These programs strengthen culture, foster connection, and create a meaningful way for employees to support communities facing crisis—while amplifying your company’s overall impact.
In Kind Contributions
Support World Central Kitchen by contributing goods, services, or expertise that help us move faster, operate more efficiently, and scale our response efforts around the world. We welcome the opportunity to connect with companies considering in-kind support and to explore how these resources can best align with our operational priorities.
While WCK is unable to accept perishable food donations, partners have played a critical role in our work by providing logistics and transportation services, technology solutions, vehicles, airline miles, water, and electrolyte supplies. These in-kind contributions directly strengthen our ability to deliver fresh, nourishing meals to communities in crisis. Please see our FAQs below for additional information.
Employee Engagement
Create meaningful opportunities that connect your employees to World Central Kitchen’s mission and our response efforts around the world in authentic and inspiring ways. From lunch-and-learns and ERG collaborations to tailored initiatives that reflect your culture, these experiences foster connection, purpose, and shared values across teams.
Partners have engaged employees through creative efforts such as cookbook clubs and employee-led fundraising challenges—turning individual passion into collective impact while supporting communities in crisis globally.

While we can’t predict when or where volunteers will be needed, local volunteers play a critical role when we are responding in their communities. If WCK responds in your area, please monitor Volunteer Hub for the most up-to-date information.
Volunteer opportunities may open quickly and without much notice, so we recommend checking regularly for new opportunities. We are deeply grateful for the time and energy volunteers contribute in support of our work.
For companies interested in engaging employees beyond volunteering during a crisis response, our team is happy to explore ideas for employee-led activities inspired by WCK’s mission and global work. Please fill out this form to get in touch with us.
Do you accept in-kind gifts, and what’s the process for donating them?
WCK welcomes in-kind contributions that help us respond quickly, operate efficiently, and support our large-scale meal production—often tens of thousands of meals per day. Because each response is shaped by local conditions and rapidly changing needs, we carefully evaluate all in-kind opportunities to ensure they align with current or anticipated operations.
While we’re unable to accept perishable food donations, we regularly partner with companies to receive high-impact goods and services such as logistics and transportation support, warehouse and storage solutions, technology platforms, vehicles, water and electrolyte supplies, and airline miles. These contributions play a critical role in reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and strengthening our ability to deliver fresh meals to communities in crisis.
We encourage companies with relevant support to connect with us. Even when a specific need is not immediate, understanding potential resources allows us to activate partnerships quickly when emergencies arise.

Does WCK have specific values or CSR goals that guide corporate partnerships?
WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. Our work is guided by core values of access, adaptability, collaboration, empathy, and resilience – principles that shape how we respond to emergencies and how we partner with organizations around the world.
Community is central to WCK’s model. We don’t just serve meals; we invest in local economies by working with small businesses, local chefs, and suppliers, helping communities recover and rebuild during and after crises. This approach creates meaningful social and economic impact while delivering immediate relief.
We seek corporate partnerships that align with these values and support shared priorities, including disaster response, climate, and community-based solutions. Our team is happy to collaborate on partnership ideas – such as employee experiences inspired by WCK’s mission and global work – that create authentic impact.
