WCK's Response to Flooding in Pakistan (Sept. 2025)

WCK’s Relief Team worked with local partners in Pakistan’s eastern Punjab province as the worst monsoon floods to hit the region in 40 years forced more than 500,000 people to flee their homes. The floods unleashed devastating levels of damage across most of eastern and southern Pakistan, directly affecting and disrupting food systems for approximately 3.3 million people.

WCK worked alongside our long-standing and trusted local partner, Rizq, to launch a widespread, multi-faceted emergency response spanning more than 260 communities across Jalalpur, Alipur, Narowal, and Hafizabad. Initial relief efforts centered around establishing community kitchens to serve warm meals to the hardest-hit regions that were left completely cut off by the floods. As access to impacted communities slowly returned, our teams shifted to distribute food kits—each including enough ingredients to feed a family of 4 for 22 days—allowing families to cook for themselves again in the hopes of returning some sense of normalcy amidst the destruction. In just five weeks, WCK distributed over 4.4 million meals to families affected by the monsoon floods.

WCK is first to the frontlines, providing meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises. When disaster strikes, WCK’s Relief Team mobilizes to the frontlines with the urgency of now to start cooking and provide meals to people in need. 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 around the world.

WCK has provided more than 500 million fresh, nourishing meals for communities around the world. Your donation today will be used to support our emergency food relief efforts.
