Food is not a luxury reserved for the lucky few. It's a
universal human right to live free from hunger.
At times like these, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the
scale of the challenges we face, and the speed of each new
crisis.
... Sometimes you just have to show up with a sandwich
or some warm rice and beans.
-"World Central Kitchen: Our Story,"
José Andrés
