Mercy Chefs Continues to Provide Hot Meals and Hope in Asheville

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Some parts of Western North Carolina are still without fresh drinking water following Hurricane Helene and it could take several more weeks before restoration is complete.

Mercy Chefs is continuing to fuel those in need in Asheville and the surrounding communities.

“Peoples’ homes are completely gone, entire towns are destroyed, and that isn’t something we see often,” Mercy Chefs Director of Disaster Relief Lisa Saylor told WBTV.

Nearly 200,000 hot meals have been served so far in response to Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. On top of that, our team has provided an additional 100,000 more meals in groceries to other groups and local chefs in the area who are out of work.

Chef Clarence runs a local catering business, but a lot of the events he was supposed to cook for got cancelled because of the storm. Now he’s cooking out of a local community center thanks to Mercy Chefs.
