For Jeff Bezos, it’s important to recognize those who are trying their best to change the world. The Courage and Civility Award was awarded to José Andrés, as well as Van Jones, a commentator on CNN and the man behind Dream Corps (via Bloomberg). Bezos said, “They can give all to their own charity or they can share their wealth. It’s all up to them.”
Chef Andrés was humbled by the prize and said that he was immensely grateful to Bezos and his family for their generosity. He added, “World Central Kitchen was born from the simple idea that food has the power to create a better world. A plate of food is a plate of hope … it’s the fastest way to rebuild lives and communities.” The chef sees this as an opportunity to take World Central Kitchen even further and work on solving the hunger crisis that continues to trouble many around the globe. The chef said, “This award itself cannot feed the world on its own. But this is the start of a new chapter for us — it will allow us to think beyond the next hurricane to the bigger challenges we face.”
The World Central Kitchen is currently working on helping out those affected by the floods in Germany, according to its website. To date, the group has prepared more than 50 million meals for those in need.
