WE SERVED 10,000 MEALS YESTERDAY. THAT NUMBER COULD TRIPLE. PLEASE SEE BELOW AND GO HERE TO SPONSOR 10, 20, 50 OR EVEN 100 MEALS FOR HOUSTON FAMILIES. --GARY

Tuesday Morning from Houston--

I'm here in Houston. The need is enormous.

We've seen long lines of cars coming to our distribution center -- at times stretching THREE MILES. Here is drone footage we took of the line...

Yesterday, we provided 10,000 hot meals. We just added an entire apartment complex that is without power, and we are delivering 500 meals to that location for both lunch and dinner.

+ + I must ramp up to meet the need...

Yesterday, officials with FEMA were asking about our capacity because the immediate need is that great. It is quite possible that 10,000 meals could double or even triple in the next 24-48 hours.

I must ramp up to meet this need. Simply put, I need help from friends like you...

We'll serve thousands of hot, chef-prepared meals to Houston families today. Could you sponsor 10 meals (just $35) or even 20 meals ($70) or more? Go here to help sponsor meals we're serving today in Houston while we continue other outreaches:

This is a MAJOR DEPLOYMENT. Entire communities are still without power, and the heat index is at or approaching 100 degrees.

A second Mercy Chefs mobile kitchen just arrived. We're working as fast as we can to meet the need -- but the demand could double or triple.

Every meal we serve depends on the faithful prayers and partnership of friends like you.

Thanks in advance for your help, and God bless.

Gary LeBlanc, Mercy Chefs
