WCK's Response to an Earthquake in Indonesia (Aug. 2026)

World Central Kitchen (WCK) is responding to a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Flores, Indonesia early on Saturday. Our teams are working to get meals to affected communities as soon as possible.

By partnering with organizations on the ground and activating a network of food trucks or emergency kitchens, WCK provides freshly made, nutritious meals to communities impacted by disasters quickly and effectively. We know that good food provides not only nourishment, but also comfort and hope, especially in times of crisis.

With over 600 million meals served globally, WCK continues to bring relief, one plate at a time. Your donation today fuels this mission—helping us reach more people, faster, when they need it most.
