As I reflect on the past few months, I am deeply moved by the power of hope in the face of adversity.

Thanks to your prayers and financial support, Mercy Chefs has served an incredible 11 deployments since January, delivering hundreds of thousands of meals to those impacted by disaster and hardship.

My team has prepared a special, interactive online version of our SURGE newsletter for you. This is the best way for you to see how your support and partnership with Mercy Chefs is impacting lives. Go here to access this issue of SURGE.

SURGE includes highlights from one of the most challenging seasons in Mercy Chefs' history, marked by a relentless series of natural disasters and emergencies that tested our team’s energy and resources. 

You'll also read inspiring stories from our Mercy Chefs Global relief efforts in South America and the Caribbean, along with how we’ve partnered with professional athletes across the country this summer to feed children.

I hope you enjoy this issue of SURGE. Every story we share.... every life impacted... and every meal served has been made possible by the generosity and support of friends like you.

Thank you for partnering with us, and may God richly bless you.

Gary LeBlanc, Mercy Chefs
