British royal family news reveals that on Sunday, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced Archewell will be partnering with José Andrés and World Central Kitchen, a non-profit dedicated to feeding communities impacted by natural disaster.
Harry and Meghan’s foundation will be helping World Center Kitchen build a series of Community Relief Centers. The hubs will be activated as service kitchens during crises such as natural disasters and later be as food distribution hubs, schools, clinics, or safe community gathering spots for families and kids during non-disaster times.

Meghan and Harry said in a joint statement: “The health of our communities depends on our ability to connect to our shared humanity. When we think about Chef Andrés and his incredible team at World Central Kitchen, we’re reminded that even during a year of unimaginable hardship, there are so many amazing people willing — and working tirelessly — to support each other. World Central Kitchen inspires us through compassion in action.”
The first of the four Community Relief Centers is being built in Dominica, which was hit by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in 2017. It’s expected to open in 2021.

Andrés said in a statement: “This year, I’ve seen many, many examples of neighbors supporting neighbors, of communities coming together to get through tough times. At our root, we believe in one another, in doing what’s right for strangers as much as we do for our friends and family.”
“World Central Kitchen and I, we see a world that’s full of dignity, empathy, and humanity. We believe in the healing power of food, and we like to say wherever there’s a fight so hungry people may eat, we will be there.”
“We are more energized than ever to continue this vital work, and we’re proud that it will be hand in hand with Archewell Foundation and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex,” he added. “I have come to know both of them well, and believe that their values are directly aligned with what we stand for at World Central Kitchen.”
