All funds raised from this event will be donated to World Central Kitchen. WCK provides meals at the frontlines of humanitarian, climate, and community crises worldwide guided by the belief that food is a universal human right. WCK has been active in the Middle East crisis since October 2023 and has resumed operations in Gaza since the April 1st attack that killed 7 of their team members. WCK has established field kitchens in Rafah and Deir al-Balah, where they have opened a center to support families fleeing from the north, as well as created a network of Palestinian-led community kitchens across Gaza.
