Grade 10 students recently visited @FlyingApronCook to prepare a nutritious, locally sourced meal. The Mixed Medium course teaches students to find creative opportunities in their everyday – highlighting that creativity extends beyond the mastery of pen and paint. #kesstudentlife

Today we learn that many in Mariupol will be blocked & left to starve to death. I am in Kyiv at an arc that should mean friendship between Ukraine & Russia. We must speak up. We must never let tyranny win. The world must fight for freedom & democracy! For the people of Mariupol!

Latest from Ukraine that YOU make possible! Today alone…12 trucks left the @WCKitchen warehouse & will deliver 500,000 more pounds of food to our Ukrainian teams. Is an honor to work alongside as they fight for freedom with every plate of food! #ChefsForUkraine #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦

So proud of the women and men of @WCKitchen but also of everyone somewhere around the world feeding someone! As my teams of WCK are feeding in Australia and Ukraine and other places around the world, my gratitude goes to them! #FoodFighters #ChefsForUkraine #ChefsForAustralia

In Morshyn—a community of just 10,000 south of Lviv—local residents are running 3 different kitchens cooking for 5,000 people staying here from the east. WCK has started to support these kitchens, filling gaps in necessary product supplies like fresh veggies! #ChefsForUkraine

In times like these the world needs to come together to remember our shared humanity.That’s the spirit of the @Space_Station &the spirit of eating paella from the same pan. Believing in longer tables,believing in sharing,remembering we're all part of the same planet. @Axiom_Space

Outside the Lviv train station, Ivan works day & night (and sleeps in a tent here!) to ensure Ukrainians arriving have a hot meal. He's been volunteering since the attack began & WCK partner FEST is now helping prepare bograch soup & sandwiches to serve here. #ChefsForUkraine

Enough wars! Our family knows firsthand how it is to live through war & we will do everything we can to help those who are forced to experience it. As a company we have always said we are not in the business of chocolate, we are in the business of Peace. Effective immediately 1/4

If the United States gave out knighthoods …
People of the World…Like you, I am distraught watching Ukraine under attack. We must come together as a force for good! @WCKitchen is on Poland border delivering meals tonight—Romania soon. In addition to your donations…I am committing support from the Bezos award to Ukraine.🇺🇦
