Program: Matt Raboin, co-owner of Brix Cider spoke about his recent
trip to Ukraine to cook with World Central Kitchen. He was stationed
in Przemsil Poland at the border of Ukraine and Poland. When it was
learned that Matt was going, he was contacted by WisconsinUkrainians.org
and asked to transport medical supplies and first aid items.
He was gone for a week.
World Central Kitchen had taken over a warehouse and turned it into a
kitchen. Mostly, he made sandwiches as well as some hot food. There
are kitchens all over Poland. WCK.org
He got to spend a few days serving, as well. There were lots of groups providing
Matt told us that 3 million refugees came into Poland within 3 months. The Polish were cooperative finding places to stay or to take them into their homes.
The best way to help the effort is to donate to WCK.com
Matt finished up by telling us of events at Brix Cider including Crash the Kitchen and Small Batch Science. https://brixcider.com/
