A crowd forms every day in front of Dania’s shop in Savanna-la-Mar to pick up WCK-provided hot meals, and 70-year-old Celine hasn’t missed a day since distribution began. Today she stood in line with her grandson Dena, collecting enough meals for her other grandchildren at home. #ChefsForJamaica

Throughout our #ChefsForPhilippines response, we’ve worked with local residents and restaurant partners to ensure meals reach the people who need them most. In Talisay, neighbors are making last-mile deliveries to elderly community members and families who cannot leave their homes to receive food.
