Fundraiser Reception for Ukraine: April 11
UPDATED: April 27, 2022
With your help we raised $42,710.21 for World Central Kitchen!
We are beyond grateful for the outpouring of generosity and kindness from our long-time customers, new customers, vendors, friends, and families. Thank you for supporting our fundraiser! Your contribution will make a real impact for those affected by the current crisis in Ukraine.
Thank you to our hardworking team!
From planning and day-of execution, to post-event follow up - we are so thankful for every team member who helped make this event a success!
A fundraiser to feed those affected by the war in Ukraine.
Amid this ongoing crisis we feel compelled to give back. Like so many around the world, we have felt utterly helpless and filled with deep despair for what the Ukrainians are enduring.
Feeding people is what we do. It's what we know. It's how we show love and compassion. Since we are unable to literally feed Ukrainian refugees fleeing the war zone, we are hosting a cocktail reception to raise funds to donate to an organization that is doing what we can't.
Help us raise funds for World Central Kitchen.
Since February 24, the World Central Kitchen began working at a 24-hour pedestrian border crossing in southern Poland, serving hot, nourishing meals. Now, they've expanded their efforts to serve people across the region in Romania, Moldova, and Hungary. WCK is also partnering with restaurants inside of Ukraine to get hot meals to anyone in need.
All ticket sales and additional proceeds from this event will be donated directly to World Central Kitchen.
