Illinois Tornado Response
Bring Comfort to Tornado Victims
A powerful tornado stuck northern Illinois, damaging homes, toppling trees, and downing power lines. As Mercy Chefs serves Kankakee and surrounding communities, families are working to clear debris and repair their homes while rain, high winds, and additional storms move through the area. Every gift helps provide chef-prepared meals to families who have lost so much and emergency crews working tirelessly to help their neighbors recover.

Each meal costs $3.50, offering hope and a sense of normalcy to families recovering from the storm. A gift of $70 provides 20 meals, $175 provides 50 meals, and $350 provides 100 meals.
