The Porch Club kicked off 2026 with their first general meeting of the year, which was a luncheon hosted by the International Outreach Committee in support of World Central Kitchen.

Founded in 2010 by Chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen (WCK) is a nonprofit organization that is first to the frontlines providing fresh meals in response to crises.

Members brought an entree or dessert inspired by an international country to share, learned more about WCK through a presentation on its work, and raised $780 to support this organization through a raffle and gift basket sales.

To learn more about the important work that the International Committee does, you can visit their web site at
