With stops in Chicago and Poland’s capital in Warsaw, Quincy arrived at a local airport more than 20 hours later and drove an hour to the border town of Przemysl. What she saw was astonishing. “It was story after story,” says Quincy, remembering one woman who had walked a day-and-a-half to the border with just her two toddlers and a suitcase. “One day they’re eating at their favorite restaurant and then, they have nothing.”
People volunteering for the World Central Kitchen in Poland helped peel, cut and cook apples for baby food that was later delivered to Ukrainian refugees.“It was giving a sense of normalcy, even though things were not normal,” says Quincy, who notes that at least one bomb had been dropped at the border during her time there.One of her earliest and most memorable interactions involved serving a woman hot chocolate, she says.
