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 providing hot meals and groceries to those impacted by this devastating disaster in Oahu. 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.

A Taste of Home & Comfort Amid Recovery
After historic flooding devastated communities across Oahu’s North Shore, families are beginning the long road to recovery. Volunteers are stepping up to help clear damaged areas.
Our team has already served thousands of hot, chef-prepared meals inspired by local flavors—like teriyaki pineapple chicken with fresh stir-fried vegetables, sliced oranges, jasmine rice, a bread roll, and a cookie—offering comfort and a sense of home amid hardship.

Standing with Families Rebuilding
Families in Hawaii continue to face significant challenges as they begin the difficult process of rebuilding their lives. Local infrastructure has been severely impacted, making it harder for communities to regain stability. Our team on the ground is witnessing an urgent and ongoing need for hot, nutritious meals as recovery efforts continue.
Mercy Chefs has secured a larger kitchen to scale operations and serve more meals, reach more communities, and provide a steady source of comfort and healing during this time. Your generosity makes it possible for us to respond quickly and effectively in moments like these. Will you stand alongside us and help us continue to provide meals to those who need them most?

Serving First Meals in Hawaii
Mercy Chefs served our first meals last night in Hawaii—chicken curry with fire-roasted vegetables, citrus-herb jasmine rice, fresh pineapple and cantaloupe, toasted brioche, and a chocolate chip cookie. After long days of relentless rain, flooding, and disruption, families and children gathered together, finding comfort in a hot meal.
We are grateful to serve alongside our partners in the midst of this crisis. As we continue to feed body and soul, your support and prayers are making a difference in the lives of the families impacted.
