The fundraiser is hosted on World Central Kitchen’s site, where 100% of your donations will help WCK feed displaced people around the world.
At publish, World Central Kitchen has played a significant role in feeding famine-struck Gazans.
More than 2 million people in Gaza (nearly the entire population) are living in famine‑like conditions under a near-total blockade that severely restricts humanitarian access and destroys food and water infrastructure.
The World Health Organization reports 3 out of 4 Gazans face “Emergency” or “Catastrophic” food deprivation — including 100,000 women and children suffering from severe acute malnutrition.
This is a man-made famine happening before our eyes. It is inhumane to allow innocent men, women, and children to starve to death.
World Central Kitchen is one of few agencies that’s been allowed to operate within the region. Their goal is to feed 1 million people a day.
Even during moments when their supplies were severely restricted by Israeli military involvement, WCK volunteers fought to serve bread and water to starving Gazan civilians.
Your tax-deductible contribution to the Bread Is Life project goes directly to World Central Kitchen, and ensures that they’re able to continue their good work in Gaza and beyond.

“Levare” means to rise in Latin, and is the etymological root of both the sourdough baking term levain and the Levant, the geographical region that encompasses the modern countries of Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan, as well as parts of Turkey.
This short booklet covers the history of bread and sourdough at the dawn of civilization — taking it all the way back to The Fertile Crescent, honey — annotated with five easy-to-bake recipes.
