Mercy Chefs, a Virginia-based disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization, is serving hot, chef-prepared meals to the victims, volunteers, and first responders of Hurricane Helene. The nonprofit has served more than 27 million meals since it was founded in 2006 in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The team is serving lunches and dinners in several locations across Florida. “This devastation caused by Hurricane Helene along Florida’s Big Bend and the Southeast is overwhelming,” says Gary LeBlanc, founder and CEO of Mercy Chefs. “We have the capacity to produce upwards of 20,000 meals a day as we work to feed body and soul wherever we are needed the most.” After Hurricane Katrina, LeBlanc went to New Orleans to volunteer and realized disaster relief could be done better. Nearly 20 years later, the organization has provided restaurant-quality meals across the country and around the globe. For more information, go to mercychefs.com.
