Beau Thai Supports World Central Kitchen

Responsive to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, Beau Thai held weekly fundraisers at its bars in Shaw and Mt Pleasant every Tuesday in March 2022. As a result of these events, Beau Thai donated $500 to World Central Kitchen (“WCK”).

Within days of the initial Russian invasion, WCK began serving meals to families traveling long distances and waiting for hours at various border crossings in Poland and then in Romania, Moldova, Hungary, and Slovakia. At the same time, urgent food needs quickly grew within Ukraine. For residents who remain either in their homes or the millions of people who have travelled west and are internally displaced, WCK mobilized local restaurants, expanding their response to provide hot meals at train stations, shelters, hospitals, and directly to people in their homes. To help fill gaps in the country’s strained food supply chain, WCK then began delivering meat, fresh produce, and dry goods like rice and bulgur to WCK partners cooking and vulnerable communities preparing for rising food shortages.
