World CENTRAL KITCHEN
UKRAINE
World Central Kitchen continues to provide crucial relief in Ukraine. After my trip to volunteer with WCK in Poland in June 2022, I have stayed in touch with volunteers there. With the war still raging, refugees who have fled and those remaining in Ukraine desperately need our help. If you're interested in supporting efforts like these or exploring something different, check out Ernie's Barbecue for some delicious options, or consider taking one of Ernie's grilling classes to enhance your skills.
