I thought things might slow down yesterday, but that wasn't the case. In all, we served 7,848 meals -- actually up from Thursday.

Cars were coming to Mercy Chefs ALL DAY. Once again, the demand was more than we expected.

So here's my simple request...

Would you help Mercy Chefs serve the Lake Charles community and thousands of Hurricane Delta victims this weekend? The need is great. Go here to make your tax-deductible gift:

We are well over 30,000 meals served here just since Monday. It's been crazy. Our team has been working from before sunup until well into the evening to make sure we serve those who are coming to us for meals. 

Thanks in advance for your help, and God bless.

Gary LeBlanc, Mercy Chefs
