Our Global Mission
Founder and CEO Chef Gary LeBlanc shares the heart and vision that fuels our global outreach. Discover how your partnership helps bring hope and nourishment to children and families worldwide.
More people to feed. More nations to love.
Our global work began in 2010 with a response to the devastating earthquake in Haiti. In 2022, Mercy Chefs Global was formally launched. Since then, we have expanded to 43 countries—including Honduras, Uganda, and the Philippines—and counting.
From war-torn regions to storm-ravaged villages, our Global team steps into the hardest places to bring hope and nourishment to families enduring these harsh realities.
Today, we are actively serving more than 300,000 meals each month.
Today, Mercy Chefs works alongside trusted local partners to meet urgent and long-term needs. Our goal is to not only respond but also strengthen communities as they rebuild and move toward stability.
Through community kitchens and hands-on training in food and sanitation, we’re equipping partners to serve their communities with excellence and sustainability.
“After we served fresh produce to everyone in line, an old grandmother got down on her hands and knees to collect cabbage leaves that had fallen into the mud. ‘I have nothing. I need anything I can get,’ she explained as she gathered the scraps.”
