World Central Kitchen

Values

At WCK, we operate as Many Kitchens, One Table. World Central Kitchen is a global tapestry of people united by our shared goal of nourishing lives. Our values guide how we show up in our work, from how we collaborate within and across our teams, to how we partner with local food providers, and how we serve communities around the world. As you explore our values, you'll see the core beliefs that guide our work and the principles that unite us as a team

Access. We strive for just and fair access for all. We commit to diversity, equity, and inclusivity across our organization and in our work.

Adaptability. We are a force for change. We use curiosity, lived experience,
humility, and creativity to inform decision making. We balance observations and
share lessons learned to grow together.

Collaboration. We work as one team helping those we collaborate with and serve
to succeed and thrive. We approach each moment as an opportunity to provide
support, hold each other accountable, and earn trust.

Empathy. We meet people where they are with dignity and respect, building
connections through openness and awareness. We are intentional and mindful of the
impact of our words and actions on others.

Resilience. We take actions that prioritize the well-being and sustainability of our team, the communities we serve, and the natural environment.
