15 years ago today, Haiti was struck by a catastrophic 7.0 magnitude earthquake that killed hundreds of thousands of people and affected more than three million residents. Chef José Andrés traveled there as quickly as he could, determined to help. While cooking with displaced families, he learned to prepare black beans the Haitian way—mashed and sieved into a creamy sauce. For José, it wasn’t just about providing food but about listening, learning, and cooking alongside locals. This approach to food aid became the foundation of WCK. Since our origins in Haiti in 2010, we have served more than 450 million meals to people impacted by crises worldwide. #ChefsForThePeople
