The US experienced two devastating hurricanes this year, leaving many towns along the East Coast underwater and in ruins. The sheer force of the storms led to widespread destruction, with homes, businesses, and essential infrastructure suffering significant impacts. In response to this crisis, the employees of YRCI united with extraordinary solidarity and determination, raising thousands of dollars for World Central Kitchen (WCK). Their efforts support WCK’s mission to provide meals to communities affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises, ensuring that people in need have access to nourishing food during challenging times.
“I have seen firsthand YRCI’s unwavering commitment to supporting America during crucial moments throughout my 23 years of employment. In times of adversity, the true spirit of YRCI shines brightest. I am incredibly proud of how the YRCI community comes together to make a real difference when it matters most.” – Stephanie Smith, President of YRCI
YRCI generously matched the funds raised by employees, contributing thousands of additional dollars to the cause. This initiative amplified the impact of the employees’ efforts and demonstrated the company’s commitment to supporting community initiatives and fostering a culture of giving back.
“YRCI has consistently risen to the challenge when the American people were in need. Whether responding to crises or providing essential resources, our organization has stepped up time and again to meet the needs of our community. I take great pride in our mission to support the American people.” – Hans Jaeger, CEO of YRCI.
YRCI believes that true impact comes from consistent and meaningful action, and they pledge to continue seeking ways to give back, uplift, and support those who need it most.
YRCI encourages you to donate to WCK and promote their efforts to serve communities struck by natural disasters. Every contribution, big or small, helps WCK continue to provide not only meals but also hope and stability to people in need. Together, we can continue to support their mission and foster resilience and recovery in communities worldwide.
