Community Spotlight: Carol Spagnoula, World Central Kitchen

World Central Kitchen has been integral to the post-Helene recovery effort in WNC, providing tens of thousands of hot meals daily to people across the region.⁠

⁠

We spoke to Carol Spagnola— a local photographer turned volunteer coordinator—about WCK's ongoing work.⁠

⁠

"So like the power of our community and what's been happening, to be able to fill these spots has been amazing," Spagnola says, surrounded by a flurry of activity at WCK's ad hoc headquarters in South Slope.⁠

⁠

"We've got people, that are distributing food at our different sites in the area. We've got people food prepping, we've got a paella and chili station, people helping with Bears Kitchen. We have greeters. We have, drivers and riders. There's a lot of different needs to continue feeding the community."⁠
