G&R Farms' Walt Dasher Donates $2,500 to World Central Kitchen to Support Ukraine



GLENNVILLE, GA - As the crisis in Ukraine continues, industry members like Walt Dasher of G&R Farms are making their support for the country known. Recently, the onion grower’s Vice President announced that he will be donating $2,500 to Work Central Kitchen (WCK) to aid in the efforts to feed Ukrainian refugees and is urging other fresh produce names to contribute.

Walt Dasher, Vice President, G&R Farms“I have watched in disbelief the crisis unfolding in Ukraine, and I am moved by the perseverance the Ukrainian people are showing to protect their families and get them to safety, while also staying behind to defend their country,” said Dasher. “They are an example to the world, and they are the line in the sand that represents freedom. As a food industry, we grow nourishing foods, and together let’s help Chef Andres nourish a nation in need. I challenge each produce company to join me and make a donation to World Central Kitchen.”

Dasher’s donation will be used to help Chef Jose Andres and other feeding operations as they prepare meals for those fleeing Ukraine, a release noted. WCK is serving meals at eight border crossings across the country and helping local restaurants to prepare meals in eight Ukrainian cities including Odessa, Lviv, and Kyiv, which have been greatly impacted.
