Mercy Chefs needs your help to provide hot meals to thousands of kids still homeless from Hurricane Michael!
With 40% of all buildings in Panama City still uninhabitable as a result of Hurricane Michael, thousands are being forced to the streets. An estimated 5,000 children are without a permanent place to call home due to the storm, leaving many kids urgently in need of nutritious meals.
Panama City officials have given Mercy Chefs -- Grassfire's disaster relief partner -- one of the shut-down schools with a complete kitchen as our base of operations. Mercy Chefs is now serving both lunch and dinner to kids and their families. All summer, we'll serve between 5,000 and 15,000 meals EVERY WEEK while providing lodging for 80-100 volunteers who will help with the recovery.
Your gift will empower Mercy Chefs to support the Panhandle and similar regions impacted by natural disasters, as they continue other vital efforts. A donation of $50 will help cover the cost of 20 meals and $100 sponsors 40 meals. If the Lord has blessed you, please consider donating $250 (100 meals), $500 (200 meals), $1,000 (400 meals) or more. Simply complete the form below to make your tax-deductible gift directly to Mercy Chefs!

Help us bring relief to thousands of kids still homeless from Hurricane Michael!
Hurricane Michael was the fourth largest storm in U.S. history -- but has received less aid than any hurricane that Mercy Chefs has ever seen. With 40% of all buildings in Panama City still uninhabitable, thousands are being forced to the streets and reports indicate at least 5,500 children are now homeless!
Panama City officials have given us one of the shut down schools with a complete kitchen as our base of operations. Mercy Chefs will serve between 5,000 and 15,000 meals EVERY WEEK while providing lodging for 80-100 volunteers who will help with the recovery.
CRITICAL NEED THIS WEEK: We are already serving meals but must finish our work converting the school facility in the "Beacon Of Hope" center. Can you help us get this done THIS WEEK?
Four friends donating $50 can help equip a bunk. Two friends contributing $100 will build and equip a bunk. Perhaps you can sponsor one bunk for $200, two bunks for $400, or even five bunks for $1,000. Your gift will help Mercy Chefs continue to support the Panhandle and other regions impacted by natural disasters while we continue other efforts.

Hurricane Florence is the kind of storm that people need to pay attention to. The words being used to describe it include: Catastrophic. Total destruction. Life threatening. Everyone within the projected path of Florence needs to take this hurricane VERY seriously.
In just 36 hours, its wind speeds doubled from 70 to 140 miles per hour. Forecasters are predicting the storm's intensity to increase even more before likely making landfall along the North Carolina coast on Thursday or Friday. It's expected to be the largest storm to hit the East Coast since Hurricane Hugo in 1989. But by the time Florence comes ashore, it could be even worse than that Category 5 storm. Attached is a satellite image of what the hurricane might look like when it makes landfall.

Hurricane Florence intensified overnight and this morning, so it's now a dangerous "Category 4" storm. Currently located off the East Coast of the United States, this life-threatening weather system is expected to intensify even more, as it approaches warmer water, and make landfall later this week. A weather forecaster I know and trust, Alan Lammey, recently posted this on his Facebook page:
"If you live in the South Carolina/North Carolina/Virginia area, you should be preparing for an imminent disaster to the area. You should also be making serious plans to leave the area" (emphasis added).

Your Gift Will Support Efforts To Help Hurricane Harvey Victims!
Nearly a year after Hurricane Harvey devastated parts of the Texas Gulf Coast, many families are still struggling to recover. Mercy Chefs is supporting the efforts of 350 students who are helping rebuild storm-ravaged areas in Houston THIS WEEK. The families in many of these houses have no insurance, and they've received little or no FEMA assistance.
A Mercy Chefs team will prepare and serve breakfast and lunch to hundreds of volunteers working to repair the homes of impoverished Hurricane Harvey victims. Many have been forced to live among the mold and debris left behind by the killer "Category 4" storm. For a tax-deductible donation of just $25, you can help sponsor 10 of those meals. A gift of $50 or $100 can feed 20 or 40 people in Houston this week!
Please stand with us to meet the physical and spiritual needs of those still working to recover from Hurricane Harvey. Simply complete the form below to make your most generous gift now!

The recent eruption of Volcán de Fuego (Spanish for "Volcano of Fire") in Guatemala has killed hundreds, maybe thousands. Mercy Chefs has responded by deploying a team to the Central American country that's working with local church pastors and doctors to care for displaced volcano victims, rescue workers, soldiers, medical teams and others.
Your support at this critical time is important to our success feeding body and soul. It typically costs Mercy Chefs about $2.50 to prepare and serve a hot, nutritious meal in a disaster area. But our team will incur significant travel and other expenses responding to Central America. Your tax-deductible gift now is urgently needed to meet a $6,000 emergency need!
