World Central Kitchen:

Charity Navigator 4 Stars, 100% rating;

WCK aligns with St. Bridget's hospitality mission in that it provides warm meals to people in need, due devastations like floods, earthquakes, wars, and other disasters in the US and abroad. This organization has an amazing distribution network to get food to those in need fast. WCK provides 1,000,000 meals a day in Gaza and supports people in Ukraine and Jamaica. When Asheville, North Carolina had devastating floods last year, WCK was there. They are providing meals in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest this year. WCK provides a hot meal daily to people who have no food, no way to store food, and no means for preparing food.
