Mercy Chefs Provides Food to Survivors of Hurricane Helene

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – As people work to pick up the pieces following devastating flooding and mudslides, Mercy Chefs is working to provide comfort in the form of a hot meal.

In Asheville, Mercy Chefs is stationed at Mission Hospital, which serves as a distribution hub. The team is feeding hospital personnel and the families of patients at the site, and is working to feed the broader community through deliveries.

Though Mercy Chefs meals are made for the masses, our chefs’ primary focus is on quality and comfort, as we are serving these meals in times of tragedy and crisis. We aim to bring hope to people in the form of a hot meal.

During deployments, we dedicate a team of chefs and volunteers to making homemade desserts. They spend their days baking cookies, cakes, muffins, and more. Our hope is that when a person receives a Mercy Chefs meal and opens the clamshell, they experience a moment of joy on what could be one of their hardest days.
