When disaster strikes, hunger doesn’t wait.
In this episode of Humankindness at Work, host Jennifer Clark sits down with Linda Roth – Emmy award-winning journalist and Chief of Communications & Strategy at World Central Kitchen – to explore how food becomes a lifeline, a symbol of hope, and a vehicle for community resilience in the face of crisis.
Linda shares what it really means to be “first to the frontlines,” how World Central Kitchen deploys within 24 hours of natural disasters and conflict, and why feeding people food that tastes like home is at the heart of everything they do.
🌍 In this episode you’ll learn:
- How World Central Kitchen has served 600+ million meals in 50+ countries
- Why community-led response (not outside rescue) is their model
- The story behind Chef José Andrés and the Haiti earthquake that started it all
- How storytelling connects us across borders and cultures
- Simple ways YOU can get involved — donate, volunteer, or just share a meal
Whether you’re a nonprofit professional, a humanitarian at heart, or simply someone who believes in the power of humankindness, this conversation will move you.
