I’ve never seen anything like this. Yesterday we installed a displaced pet feeding station in Kramatorsk (with your support!). This morning, the Ukrainian dogs waited in line to eat. 🇺🇦🐕

Night has fallen, but voting lines continue in Marietta, Georgia. The @WCKitchen team just finished serving dinner. They met someone walking out who arrived at 8am — he waited 12 hours to vote today. We must do better! Until then, #ChefsForThePolls will try to keep everyone fed.

Instead of visiting the White House for McDonalds, the @Nationals should really just go over to @chefjoseandres’ house.

An update I hoped I’d never have to make. I’m at a @WCKitchen restaurant in Kharkiv, where less than 24 hours ago I was meeting with their amazing team. Today, a missile stuck. 4 staff were wounded. This is the reality here—cooking is a heroic act of bravery. #ChefsForUkraine 🇺🇦

Today, the Lviv Philharmonic performed for the first time since the invasion—with refugees from across Ukraine joining the orchestra! It was streamed online, as the concert hall is now a warehouse for medical supplies that go to hospitals. Like food, music to nourish the soul! 🇺🇦

Zomi was one of the earliest employees at World Central Kitchen. She first showed up to volunteer at our WCK kitchen in Guatemala after the Fuego volcano eruption—and became like family. Zomi was effervescent, her spirit of service embodied the greatest aspects of humanity.

What a speech. A powerful and unforgettable moment. I’m sure everyone feels good. But now we have to help Ukraine win this war—and quickly. There is no other option for Ukraine, for America, and for the world. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦🤝🇺🇸

From our @WCKitchen team on the border of Ukraine and Poland: 1,700 hot meals of chicken, rice & veggies served here tonight! This is a 24-hour crossing and refugees from Ukraine are streaming through all night. This is just a start to WCK efforts on the ground! #ChefsForUkraine

I want to introduce you to 3 brave staff from @WCKitchen restaurant Yaposhka! Yulia, Liza, and Yulia are in good spirits & recovering in the hospital after the missile attack. Yulia—next to me—said she’s excited to come back to help feed 1000s once her burns heal. True heroes! 🇺🇦

The 🇺🇦 Food Train 🚂 had a visitor today! Grateful to the Ukrainian Railways team for their non-stop courageous work. The train is still cooking thousands of meals every day, often under fire in the Kharkiv region. The Iron People are unbreakable.

I want to share some good news out of Ukraine tonight. While @WCKitchen was delivering food in Derhachi north of Kharkiv, Cary Fukunaga spotted a dog stuck on the second floor of a blown out building. He was able to get him out & Cary now has a new family member 🐶 #DogsOfUkraine

Yesterday I stood at the Kramatorsk station as we planned to serve food & coffee to 1000s evacuating. Today we saw their murder—Moms. Kids. People burned alive in their cars. We are in shock but @WCKitchen is not running away—we must stand with the people of Ukraine against evil.

Today I met Natalia & her daughter Miraslava at the train station in Lviv, Ukraine. They just arrived from Zaporizhzhia, where Russian forces attacked the nuclear power plant. Only 5 years old, Miraslava was enjoying her first hot meal in days. This is why @WCKitchen is here. 🇺🇦
