    When delivering meals in New Orleans, the WCK team learned it was Marie’s birthday! 🎉 Her mother-in-law lives around the corner from Life Transformation Community Center where we delivered 500 meals. She told us the food was very, very good!

    I met Pastor Luke down in Lafitte south of New Orleans. His church flooded…but that didn’t stop him from working with to set up a food distribution center here! He told us: "I've been through Katrina and we can get through Ida. But food is the fuel to rebuild!"

    “I was a refugee in the 1980s, so to give them a meal from the heart after they’ve been traveling for days—it tells them there’s someone here who understands them.” Khaleeq owns Kabobi, a WCK partner serving fresh meals to Afghan families arriving in Virginia.

    After the kitchen closes, we head to the New Orleans streets to deliver meals to those who can’t make it to food pickup sites. No power means it’s pitch black out, so we serve illuminated by taillights from the back of a WCK vehicle. It’s now day 5 with no electricity.

    WCK’s spent yesterday afternoon taking plates of Chef Mollie’s famous chicken pot pie 🥧 to families without power in New Orleans. While power is slowly beginning to come back in some parts of the city, most families are still in the dark.
