WCK's Response to Spain Wildfires (July 2025)

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team was on the ground in Spain, where wildfires in the Ávila region caused destruction and forced families out of their homes. Thousands of first responders worked to contain the blazes. This came during a time of increasingly severe wildfires across the world as weather patterns become more and more extreme.

WCK’s food truck was up and running serving over 3,500 meals to firefighters and first responders. In partnership with local restaurant La Comanda de Vico, we made sure firefighters got a hot meal to fuel their efforts.

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.

El equipo de World Central Kitchen estuvo sobre el terreno en España, donde los incendios forestales en la región de Ávila causaron destrozos y obligaron a muchas familias a abandonar sus hogares.

Equipos de emergencia trabajaron para contener los incendios. Todo esto ocurrio en un momento en el que los incendios forestales están siendo cada vez más graves en todo el mundo, a medida que el clima se vuelve más extremo.

El camión cocina de WCK estuvo sirviendo mas de 3.500 comidas calientes a bomberos y equipos de emergencia. En colaboración con el restaurante local La Comanda de Vico, nos aseguramos de que quienes estaban en primera línea recibieran una comida nutritiva que les dé energía para seguir.

En 2024, respondimos a las graves inundaciones en Valencia, donde miles de familias tuvieron que evacuar y refugiarse en albergues. Durante ese tiempo, servimos más de 6 millones de comidas a las personas afectadas.
