The industry leader in basketball video content will also be donating 10 percent gross of all spring collection merchandise sales to the World Central Kitchen.
What is the World Central Kitchen?
The WCK (wck.org) is an organization started by Jose and Patricia Andres with a vision of creating smart solutions to hunger and poverty. As of April 23, WCK has served over 3.1 million meals with its #ChefsForAmerica campaign. This campaign has safely distributed individually packaged, fresh meals in communities most affected by COVID-19 for families to pick up and take home or via delivery for seniors unable to venture outside.?
Traditional community-based safety nets such as school feeding programs, city services and foodbanks are struggling to meet current needs, as job loss continues to grow across the country. Restaurants are the nation’s second largest employer (outside of the Federal Government), sustaining 15.6 million American jobs with $889 billion in annual sales. In the next there months alone, the restaurant industry is projecting job losses of upwards of 7 million with a decline in sales estimated at $225 billion.
WCK has introduced a new program that is activating restaurants to help meet this demand by providing jobs for their staff and meals for those in need. With its #ChefsForAmerica campaign, WCK has committed to purchasing 1 million meals from local restaurants and delivering them to meals directly to Americans that need assistance.
How Can I Help In The Fight vs. COVID-19?
You can start by taking precaution and being selective when you go out in public. That starts by always wearing a mask. If you do purchase a Ballislife mask in coming months, just know a quarter of the proceeds will go to the World Central Kitchen (Watch its "60 Minutes" Episode). You don't have to make a BIL purchase to support the World Central Kitchen, you can donate directly to this non-profit we chose to align ourselves with during COVID-19 RIGHT HERE.
As a nonprofit, WCK ensures 100 percent of all philanthropic donations go directly to the meals and restaurant workers.
WCK works with local agencies trained and established in identifying COVID-19 "hot spots" and selected restaurants go through an onboarding process and COVID-19 training. WCK issues payment directly to the restaurant. Additionally, this nonprofit has engaged partnerships with UberEats, DoorDash, GrubHub, Postmates and Lyft to put them back to work.
