Relief on the Hudson
World Central Kitchen - founded by celebrity chef Jose Andres - is feeding the hundreds of medical personnel working at Javits Convention Center, which currently operates as one of the largest field hospitals in the country. World Central Kitchen is a not-for-profit organization devoted to providing meals to those in need in the wake of natural disasters.
To assist those doing this critical work, Wells Fargo has teamed up with Related Companies, parent company of Hudson Yards, in supporting World Central Kitchen’s Chef Relief Team, Related volunteers and Hudson Yards’ restaurant staff to prepare and serve meals to hundreds of health care workers, soldiers, police officers, EMTs and support staff.
The new health care facility was established by FEMA and the U.S. Navy, the New York Governor’s Office and the New York National Guard to supplement the City’s health care system.
