Amex & Resy Team Up With World Central Kitchen

World Central Kitchen began this free meal program at select Hilton properties in Los Angeles in April, and is now expanding into New York and Washington, D.C., with additional cities under consideration. In line with its mission to use the power of food to heal and strengthen communities, World Central Kitchen, in partnership with American Express and Resy, is integrating local restaurants into its existing model, allowing the restaurants to hire back some workers to prepare the meals for the medical professionals staying at Hilton properties as part of this program. 

American Express and Hilton recently teamed up to donate up to 1 million hotel room nights to medical professionals on the frontlines fighting COVID-19. Hundreds of thousands of room nights have already been booked. The two companies have extended this important work through a $1 million contribution from American Express to José Andrés’ World Central Kitchen.

In addition to making monetary donations, through American Express’ JustGiving initiative, eligible Card Members can use Membership Rewards® to donate to World Central Kitchen. Terms apply.*

Your donation will provide a meal to frontline healthcare professionals — while supporting a local restaurant and its employees. We hope that connecting these restaurants with America’s healthcare heroes can provide a bit of happiness for everyone involved.

• Angler LA
• Jon & Vinny’s

• Son of a Gun
