People often cast their vote before work, during their lunch break, or after work all prime meal times. We also know that while long lines are an inconvenience for some, for many they can mean the difference between voting and not voting.
For these reasons, World Central Kitchen and its partners are activating Chefs For The Polls to serve warm meals on early voting days and Election Day, November 3. Well be stationed by polling locations around the country, targeting those with historically long lines, predicted massive turnouts, or limited facilities, sharing meals with anyone no questions asked. If we can help alleviate the challenges of Election Day, we will be there.
In each city, we will join forces with food trucks and restaurants, continuing to engage with community-driven solutions that provide fresh meals and also keep small businesses open in the midst of a health and economic crisis.
Chefs For The Polls is a non-partisan effort that will feed people of all political parties and beliefs. Meals are not offered as an incentive or reward for voting; rather, meals will be available at polling sites for anyone who is hungry.

get the Limbaugh stink off of it.
