Three men in front of the dispensing kitchen of the Greater New York Philanthropic Society, August 3, 1932. This was a soup kitchen where substantial meals were served to the hungry for the price of one penny. The restaurant had begun in 1908 but undoubtedly found its raison d'être during the Depression.

If you want to support Ukrainians, DO NOT donate to Red Cross. Can't speak about their work in other countries, but they're useless in Ukraine. The only trustworthy international organisation I can think of is World Central Kitchen.

Donate to World Central Kitchen

And it's even better to donate directly to Ukrainian organisations. Here are a few good legit places:

hospitallers.life - "Hospitallers", Ukrainian paramedics on the frontlines

savelife.in.ua - "Come Back Alive", assistance to the army

prytulafoundation.org - "Prytula Foundation", assistance to the army, humanitarian causes

starenki.com.ua - "Starenki", helping elderly people

everybodycan.com.ua - "Everybody Can", helping disabled children, elders and hospitals

uanimals.org - "UAnimals", saving animals

Of course that was Israel’s intention.

There are some people who could turn even the most amiable character into a bully and he seemed to be one of them. There was something...sort of damp about him, the kind of helpless hopelessness that made people angry rather than charitable, the total certainty that if the whole world was a party he'd still find the kitchen.

Something I've been hearing a lot about on the news but haven't yet seen on Tumblr (maybe just my particular echo chamber hasn't heard about it), so hey, let's chat!

While debate is raging about America's airdrops and the temporary port, there is ALREADY an aid corridor by sea in use by an existing charity. The Spanish celebrity chef Jose Andres has a charity by the name of World Central Kitchen, which is dispatching barges from Cyprus to Gaza, holding 200 tonnes of food. There is a second barge in process already. WCK is working with the UAE and Cypriot governments, and a Spanish charity by the name of Proactiva Open Arms.

The charity is preparing a jetty in Gaza to receive aid which was almost 60 metres long, WCF founder Jose Andres said in a post on X late Wednesday. Unverified video posted on social media showed a bulldozer reversing over a hardpacked rubble jetty on the Gaza shore.

WCF says its initiative is unrelated to a larger multinational effort to set up a maritime aid corridor into Gaza.

In Nicosia, Cyprus foreign minister Constantinos Kombos said a high-level meeting would take place on March 21 to coordinate further distribution of aid.

(I'm not sure why the article switches from WCK to WCF. I'll assume it's a mistake because the author has WFP on the brain or something.)

This is pretty good news overall, but it's still only a patch on a massive problem, and I do have concerns about the distribution of aid once it's at the jetty, given the chaos on the ground.

Land crossings would still be best, but I'd like to share the news of good work by WCK with you guys.

Stretching down the street as far as the eye can see, jobless men wait in line for hours in a gray fog and slow drizzle to be served Christmas dinner at the Municipal Lodging house, December 25, 1932.

National Dessert Day & National Frugal Responsible Unpretentious Mature Persons Day & National Real Sugar Day

Person A works as a chef but never eats any of the food they make since they have an incredibly sensitive palate/allergies/restrictive diet/etc. Person B runs a soup kitchen and allows their soup kitchen to be Person A’s test guinea pig, so they can get really high end meals regularly or sometimes really fancy desserts.

Hurricane Helene: How You Can Help Victims in North Carolina and in Other States

These days I’ve been following all the terrible news arriving from states in the southern USA. Hurricane Helene, despite holding the name of a very beautiful woman, is causing the same level of damage that the ancient Helen brought to Troy. I see lost roads, completely demolished houses, fallen trees, adding number of dead people, and very afraid people in shock asking for help and appealing for…

A work in progress for the @picturehooks competition with the theme ‘Kindness’.

I helped out on a street team a few weeks ago and it was amazing seeing the efforts of the volunteers giving out hot drinks, clothes, toiletries, and food to those in need. The cost of living crisis means life is precarious for many more people now, struggling to pay heating bills, rent or for food as the prices rise and rise. But still, people are helping each other. I hope that the government take action to alleviate this suffering.

I’m reminded of this quote by Ursula K Le Guin:

“It is our suffering that brings us together... The bond that binds us is beyond choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it. We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is empty, as mine is. You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have is what you are, and what you give.”
