When the call arrives,
we are already on our way.
Crisis Response is our nonprofit arm — hot, real food cooked and served to crews working an active emergency, and to the families displaced by it.
frontlinekitchen.orgWho runs the
deployment
Every deployment runs through one chain of responsibility, written before the call comes.
Crisis Response Lead
Owns the call. Assesses the incident, authorizes the deployment, and answers for the crew from the first page to the last plate served.
