World Central Kitchen’s Relief Team is en route to the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul to assess food and water needs amid some of the worst-ever flooding to hit the region.
Destruction caused by floodwaters has killed at least 150 people and displaced more than 500,000. An estimated 77,000 people remain in shelters across the region and are in need of support. Stay up to date on our response by visiting wck.org.
