Live Webinar – Behind the Scenes with World Central Kitchen

First to the Frontlines: How World Central Kitchen Delivers Hope – One Meal at a Time

In times of crisis, meals mean more than food, they offer comfort, dignity, and hope.

At Myriad Canada Foundation, we are proud of our long-standing partnership with World Central Kitchen (WCK), an organization founded by chef José Andrés that provides meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises around the world. From Gaza and Haiti to Ukraine and Jamaica, WCK continues to be among the first on the ground, offering nourishment and compassion to communities in need.

On December 4 at 1 PM EST, join us for a live conversation featuring voices from both Myriad Canada and World Central Kitchen, as we explore how food relief efforts come together in the most challenging circumstances.
