G&R Farms, Glennville, GA, BB #:114342 is donating $2,500 to World Central Kitchen to help Ukrainian refugees.
“I have watched in disbelief, the crisis unfolding in the Ukraine and I am moved by the perseverance the Ukrainian people are showing to protect their families and get them to safety, while also staying behind to defend their country,” said Walt Dasher, vice president of G&R Farms, in a statement.
World Central Kitchen, founded by Chef José Andrés, is serving meals at eight border crossings across across the country and supporting local restaurants preparing meals in eight Ukrainian cities including Odessa, Lviv, and Kyiv. Teams also are on the ground in Romania, Moldova and Hungary.
Dasher hopes others in the industry will be moved to help.
“They are an example to the world and they are the line in the sand that represents freedom,” Dasher said, in a statement. “As a food industry, we grow nourishing foods and together let’s help Chef Andrés nourish a nation in need. I challenge each produce company to join me and make a donation to World Central Kitchen.
