José Andrés announces that World Central Kitchen will continue to feed Puerto Rico through Christmas

In a video he posted to his Twitter account, José Andrés told the world that his nonprofit World Central Kitchen will continue to feed Puerto Rico through Christmas.

The humanitarian chef filmed the video from a World Central Kitchen station in Ponce with Puerto Rican celebrity chef Ventura Vivoni, who is pitching in to help feed more difficult-to-reach areas of the island.

He has not only expressed his distaste for the candy- and chip-filled food-packages delivered to the people of San Juan by Federal Emergency Management Agency but has shared photos of destroyed power lines and bemoaned the lack of effort being put toward restoring Puerto Rico’s electricity.
