Wisconsin Tornado Response
Tornado Relief Updates
Powerful tornadoes tore through northeastern Wisconsin on July 27, leaving a trail of devastation across the Fox Cities region. Preliminary assessments indicate an EF-3 tornado remained on the ground for more than 20 minutes, damaging or destroying thousands of homes, toppling trees and power lines, and leaving entire neighborhoods without electricity. Early reports suggest this is one of the most destructive tornadoes to strike the region in years.
As families begin the long road to recovery, Mercy Chefs is deploying to Wisconsin to serve hot, chef-prepared meals. Our team is en route to work alongside local church partners. We are committed to standing beside families and rescue teams in the days ahead. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram (@MercyChefs) for live updates.

More Than a Hot Meal
Today, Mercy Chefs served our first hot meals to families impacted by the devastating flooding in West Virginia. As our team arrived in Weston, we found communities facing overwhelming loss, homes and businesses damaged, neighborhoods buried in debris, and residents working tirelessly to clear out floodwaters. Again and again, we’ve heard the same words: “Thank you for being here.” These words remind us that a hot meal is more than food; it shows families they haven’t been forgotten.
With nearly 1,000 homes impacted across the region, the need remains great. Mercy Chefs is honored to stand alongside West Virginia, feeding body and soul where it’s needed most. Your gift today will help provide hope and meals to those recovering from this devastating disaster.
