Donate to World Central Kitchen
On February 24, Russia launched a large-scale military operation on neighboring Ukraine, invading the country on several fronts. Since then, millions of Ukrainians have fled their homes and are staying in cities in the west or leaving for other countries altogether. The journey is daunting, with many Ukrainian families traveling for days without food.
Working at a 24-hour pedestrian border crossing in southern Poland, World Central Kitchen - a non-profit founded by chef Jose Andres - began serving hot, nourishing meals within hours of the initial invasion and are now serving round-the-clock dishes at eight border crossings across the country. Additionally, they are supporting local restaurants preparing meals in cities across Ukraine including Odessa, Lviv, and Kyiv. WCK teams are also on the ground serving thousands of meals every day in Romania, Moldova, Hungary, Slovakia, Spain and Germany.
In conjunction with our free benefit concert we will be holding a silent auction to help raise funds for Ukrainian refugees. All funds will be sent directly to the World Central Kitchen.
We are currently looking for community partners to donate items for our Silent Auction. The Silent Auction will take place on May 23, 2022, from 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm. All proceeds will go to help Ukrainian refugees through the World Central Kitchen!
