Hurricane Milton Response
Milton Updates
On October 9, Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida’s Gulf coast, bringing catastrophic winds and significant flooding in some areas. Millions have been left without power. Mercy Chefs is en route to the heart of the need to bring relief and hope to the hardest-hit regions.
We ask for your prayers and support for the communities facing this latest storm as they continue to recover from Hurricane Helene’s impacts. We invite volunteers to join us in Bradenton to assist with our relief efforts. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@MercyChefs) for live updates.
Feeding a Retirement Community
October 13, 2024
While power has been restored in several regions across Florida, hundreds of thousands of communities remain without power. Our team delivered meals to a retirement center that had been without power for four days, and the gratitude we encountered was profound. Despite the darkness, the hallways were filled with the sound of laughter and warmth. Help us continue to bring relief and hope in the form of a meal to those who need it most by donating today!
Partnering with Bayside Community Church
October 12, 2024
The recent tornado outbreak caused by Hurricane Milton has exacerbated the devastation in affected areas. Widespread flooding and wind damage have left numerous residents still without power. Mercy Chefs is partnering with Bayside Community Church to establish our relief operations in Bradenton, FL. We served our first meals: Cajun-style chicken Alfredo alongside a fresh garden salad with buttermilk ranch dressing, garlic breadsticks, and berry fruit salad. With your support, we can provide thousands of meals to victims and first responders in the days ahead.
Mobilizing to Florida Ahead of the Storm
October 9, 2024
As Hurricane Milton approaches Florida’s Gulf Coast, Mercy Chefs is quickly mobilizing our largest mobile kitchen, equipment and dedicated team just outside the anticipated impact zone. Nine counties are under evacuation. We stand ready to answer the call for help.
