Welcome to Mercychefs.com! Mercy Chefs operates as a tax deductible non-profit, faith based, public charity committed to the primary purpose of serving high quality professionally prepared meals in disasters and national emergencies with the purpose of showing the love of Jesus Christ through Christian compassion and hospitality to victims, first responders and volunteers. As you surf our site please listen to the promptings of God. Could it be you have a spot on our team? Could it be you are a financial partner? This ministry is vital to our country during times of duress. With the faithful support of others just like you, Mercy Chefs can continue to be among the first responders when disaster strikes.
The vision for Mercy Chefs was born while R. Gary LeBlanc was leading a mobile kitchen on its maiden voyage in the days after Hurricane Katrina. The call to feed people and share the Love of Christ led him to a point in the midst of this horrific disaster where a passion to provide high quality and professionally prepared meals to victims, volunteers and first responders was birthed.
Today we are blessed to have several "Mercy Chefs" strategically located throughout the USA. These dedicated servants volunteer their time and gifts every time Mercy Chefs is called on to respond to an emergency. These committed individuals set up our mobile kitchens, organize local volunteers, create menus, and most importantly pray for each day’s events. Truly you can see the passion and drive that flows from Gary into the other "Mercy Chefs".
