Hawaii Flood Response
Flood Relief Updates
Torrential rains from a powerful Kona low storm system have triggered widespread flooding across Hawaii, with some areas receiving more than 50 inches of rain. State officials are calling this the worst flood in more than two decades. Thousands have been forced to evacuate as homes, farms, and businesses are overwhelmed by rising waters.
With additional rainfall expected and ongoing power outages, Mercy Chefs is deploying to O’ahu to provide hot meals to those impacted by this devastating disaster. Please keep the people of Hawaii in your prayers as they face uncertainty in the days ahead. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@MercyChefs) for more updates.

Reaching Those Hit Hardest
While power is nearly restored in town, thousands in surrounding communities, including Alcona County, remain without electricity. Snow and ice have left many, especially elderly residents, unable to leave their homes. Your support is helping deliver hot, nutritious meals directly to adult day care centers, warming shelters, local firehouses, sheriff’s offices, and linemen.
Miss Deborah, who relies on oxygen supply, is one of many you’ve impacted. After losing power twice—first in the blizzard, then when a tree fell on her home—she’s found comfort in the meals served at her church as she navigates what’s next. A warm meal, a kind smile, and a sense of relief can’t be overstated. Thanks to our supporters, we’ll continue to serve those still facing the blizzard’s aftermath.

First Meals in Roscommon
Tonight, Mercy Chefs served the first meals in Roscommon County, MI. Despite a freezing start, the sun helped make conditions safer as we provided Italian pasta, fresh salad, and garlic bread to the community. We welcomed local residents to share meals on-site and delivered food across the county line to homebound neighbors, a senior day center, linemen, and first responders.
It was a meaningful day of connection and service, with volunteers from our church partner and a local treatment center coming together to give back. We are grateful for our partnerships and remain committed to supporting this largely elderly community as they recover from power outages and limited food access. Join us in reaching those who need it most.
