Houston, Texas \u2014 World Central Kitchen (WCK) will bring our Food Is Life campaign<\/a> to Houston on Friday, July 4, celebrating the power of food to unite communities during the Morocco vs. Canada match.<\/p>\n

As part of the Stars Over City Place 4th of July Celebration in Spring, Texas, WCK will partner with Cochinita & Co., founded by Chef Corps member Victoria Elizondo, to serve complimentary snacks while supplies last. Beginning at 7:00 p.m., visitors can find WCK tents throughout the celebration and learn more about the organization\u2019s mission to nourish communities through the power of food.<\/p>\n

The activation is part of WCK\u2019s nationwide Food Is Life campaign, bringing communities together through food in host cities throughout this summer\u2019s international football tournament. Through these community activities, WCK celebrates food\u2019s unique ability to connect people across cultures while raising awareness of the organization\u2019s work serving fresh meals in the wake of disasters and humanitarian crises.<\/p>\n

Victoria Elizondo, chef and owner of Cochinita & Co., says:<\/p>\n

\u201cFood has always been one of the most powerful ways to bring people together. It creates connections across cultures, languages, and backgrounds, reminding us that we have more in common than we often realize. As an immigrant, chef, and small business owner, I\u2019ve seen firsthand how sharing a meal or watching a soccer game can build community and create a sense of belonging. That\u2019s why I\u2019m so excited to partner with WCK and celebrate the joy of gathering around good food and the people who make those moments meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n
