As you may recall, Barry teamed up with Ukrainian cello player Anna Litvinenko to re-record “Adam & Eve” in an effort to raise funds to help Ukrainians in need. Those funds were then donated to the WCK. Here is an update from them on how things are currently in Ukraine.
Today marks two years since Russian forces launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. World Central Kitchen arrived in the region soon after the initial attack and our teams have provided meals to impacted communities every day since. Alongside our local partners, we have served more than 260 million meals to Ukrainians living through the darkest times imaginable.
As we enter the third year of our #ChefsForUkraine response, we are meeting the most pressing needs of families caught between the fighting in frontline communities. At the same time, our Emergency Response Team is working tirelessly to be at the sites of missile and rocket attacks wherever they may happen, supporting impacted families and first responders.
Food needs have shifted since the war began and we have never stopped adapting our approach, ensuring people get the support they need, when they need it. Our Ukrainian-led teams have brought much more than meals to neighbors in need. Each day we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the Food Fighters of Ukraine to provide hope and a sense of home, one meal at a time.
