(Re) creating more jobs than dRump —
This week, WCK passed 2 million meals served in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, continuing to expand our food relief operations in cities across America and in Spain. We are currently serving over 160,000 meals per day.
José Andrés also announced a commitment to purchase 1 million meals from small, local restaurants — bringing them back to work (safely). WCK will then deliver those meals with partners to families, seniors, frontline healthcare workers & more
Restaurants are the nation’s second largest employer, accounting for more than 15 million jobs in the United States. With many across the country closed completely or operating with just a fraction of their staff, the industry has been devastated. It is WCK’s intention that by working directly with restaurants and providing the demand for the restaurant business, we can get meals to those who need them most while also uplifting an industry that needs all of our help to keep their doors open.
