During COVID-19, WCK has worked strategically with restaurants across the globe and their local farm partners. Together they proved thousands of meals every day, keeping the restaurant industry strong during the lockdown, and supporting supply-chain partners.
DIGDEEP.org is a human rights nonprofit serving the 2.2 million+ Americans without running water and the sinks, bathtubs, or toilets that the rest of us take for granted.

DIGDEEP.org follows THE 100% MODEL
“We know that every dollar you invest in our work is hard-earned and thoughtfully given, so we commit 100% of every donation to water programs.”
A special group of donors covers our operating expenses. We call them The Water Council.
