This was the day after a typhoon hit us. @WCKitchen was the first to arrive with help. They chartered a plane - filled it full of food and other needed supplies. They kept sending food until the need was met.

WCK is working side by side with local communities in Alaska to deliver critical food supplies by ATV to families affected by the recent flooding. In Napakiak, our teams joined local leaders Gordon, Walter, and David to provide groceries and hot meals to residents in need. #ChefsForAlaska

Water came within an inch of Luke Amik’s home. He watched other homes float by as waters rose higher than they ever had. One crashed into his house.
“I couldn’t believe what I was seeing,” he said. “I still can’t believe what’s happening right now.”

More than a thousand people in Western Alaska are sleeping in their local school after a massive storm Sunday made their homes unlivable.
But some of the schools are no longer livable either.

WCK's John is on the ground in Anchorage, Alaska, after Typhoon Halong devastated coastal communities over the weekend. He's en route to Bethel, a town hit hard by the typhoon, to support the community. #ChefsForAlaska

World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is in Alaska, where Typhoon Halong left a devastating wake of flooding and destruction in remote coastal cities. The storm brought hurricane-force winds, storm surges, and floods that swept away homes. Our teams will be serving first responders and impacted families, many of whom have lost their homes, workplaces, and community centers.
This is a quickly evolving situation—we’ll share more information as soon as we have it. #ChefsForAlaska

Doing our best to protect from the remnants of Typhoon Halong. Full force hits tomorrow. Pray for all those that will be impacted in Western Alaska.

Just a reminder that #jesseholmes came to help our small town after a typhoon hit and he was injured very badly. He has a place in my heart and our city. Very happy he won the #iditarod and very thankful for the #uglydogs community.

Whether through prayer, fundraisers from local businesses, or greeting Bering Air flights as service resumed this weekend, I want to thank the Alaskans who are lifting up Nome, Unalakleet, and the Bering Air family. It’s been a hard weekend for all of us, but seeing the state come together truly highlights the best of Alaska.

I am sharing another verified fundraiser for a young man lost in the plane crash. His family needs support for his final send-off. Please consider donating or sharing to help them. Every bit counts. gofund.me/e8cf4176
There are videos and pictures of large groups from most villages greeting the first plane since the accident. These communities love their pilots and it’s beautiful to see them be welcomed with open arms. Still a heartbreaking loss but together we will come out stronger.
