Mercy Chefs provides chef-prepared, nutritious meals and clean water for victims, volunteers and first responders in natural disasters and emergencies across the country and around the globe.
Our team is experienced in providing relief following hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, extreme winter weather and other emergencies.
Our mobile kitchens are self-sustaining, equipped to operate in areas without power, and capable of purifying drinking water on-site.
This allows our team to deliver relief even in the most challenging circumstances. With six fully equipped mobile kitchens, each capable of serving up to 20,000 hot meals per day, we are strategically positioned across the country to respond to disasters at a moment’s notice.
Our chefs are driven by an unwavering commitment to excellence. In the heart of a disaster zone—amidst supply shortages and equipment failures—they don’t stop until they have served the most nutritious meal possible.
While we have served over 28 million meals in the past 18 years, it’s always about the one person we have the opportunity to make a profound imapct in their life.
Since our founding in 2006, we have responded to over 200 disasters across 33 U.S. states and territories, and 31 countries with the help of over 15,000 volunteers.
Our hope is to provide comfort and a moment of normalcy to those facing unimaginable loss, often on the worst day of their lives, through a hot meal.
As our Founder, Chef Gary LeBlanc, often says, “Something amazing happens over a shared meal.” We take this statement to heart.
