Program areas at Mercy Chefs
Disaster relief & long-term recovery: we respond to natural disasters and national emergencies at a moment's notice. On deployment, our professional Chefs prepare high- quality, hot meals on a mass scale-up to 20,000 meals a day-for victims, volunteers, and first responders. Community kitchens: Mercy Chefs' cofounder inspired the development of our community kitchens. She recognized our organization's responsibility to put our resources, volunteers, and skills to use outside of disasters to feed food-insecure populations across the country. Food insecurity response: Mercy Chefs has delivered millions of meals through grocery box distributions. The impact these groceries have made on people's lives is unparalleled. We've expanded this program and continue to find new ways to support people in food-insecure communities through job skills training, single-parent cooking classes, and budget-friendly recipe creation.
