I love Chef Jose Andres.

"World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Jamaica ahead of Category 5 Hurricane Melissa’s landfall. The storm is expected to bring destructive winds, torrential rain, and widespread flooding. We’re working with local partners to begin serving meals as quickly as possible to families impacted by the storm.

Families across the country are bracing for what could be its most powerful storm in recorded history—prompting evacuations, airport closures, and the opening of hundreds of shelters. Our Relief Team prepositioned in the region over the weekend and is working with local Jamaican partners to ensure meals reach impacted communities as soon as it is safe to do so.

“WCK has already mobilized, pre-deploying teams to assist in recovery efforts,” said Samantha, a WCK team member in Jamaica. “We’re coordinating with local restaurant partners to ensure they can serve meals once the hurricane passes"
