World Central Kitchen Serves 10,000 Meals Daily After Venezuela Quakes
The nonprofit is partnering with 19 local groups and serving about 10,000 meals daily to displaced families and rescue workers, officials said.
- World Central Kitchen is actively distributing roughly 10,000 fresh meals each day to emergency responders and families displaced by the disaster.
- The non-profit organization is collaborating with 19 local community and restaurant partners to quickly prepare culturally familiar food close to the hardest-hit areas.
- Initial emergency relief operations are focused across the severely impacted regions of Miranda, La Guaira, and Carabobo.
- Because structural instability prevents the setup of kitchens near active search sites, local volunteers are fetching the meals from central distribution hubs to deliver them directly to rescue workers.
- The humanitarian group has scaled up its logistics by deploying food trucks and establishing an operational hub near Naiguatá to handle high-volume food preparation and storage.
