Moroccan Chef in California Feeds Homeless and Hospital Workers Amid COVID-19 Crisis

Despite the many infections recorded in California, forcing states to adopt drastic measures, Chef Toumadi, originally from Mohammedia, "has prepared many free meals that he has served to the homeless living in gardens and streets." He did the same gesture to "the staff of a number of hospitals, including that of Santa Clara".

For this Moroccan chef, specialized in Moroccan and Italian cuisine, "any citizen who can provide support and assistance in order to participate in the fight against the disease must do so without expecting anything in return." He added, in a statement to moroccojewishtimes.com, that "Moroccans are known for their love of good and they have been educated to always provide support and solidarity to those in need."

Waheed Toumadi is very well known in Los Angeles. He counts among his clients many celebrities, including actors, producers and journalists. Several specialized media have devoted articles to him. Among them, state newspapers have recently mentioned his solidarity initiative towards healthcare professionals in California and have published photos and interviews.
