Mercy Chefs, Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts

In our second quarter of 2025, Practice for a Purpose freewill offerings will support Mercy Chefs, Hurricane Helene Relief Efforts.

Mercy Chefs provides professionally prepared, restaurant-quality meals to victims, volunteers, and first responders in natural disasters and national emergencies. They also partner with existing ministries to provide food service in underserved communities.

Though Mercy Chefs meals are made for the masses, the primary focus is on quality and comfort, as the meals are served in times of tragedy and crisis. They aim to bring hope to people in the form of a hot meal. The hope is that when a person receives a Mercy Chefs meal, they experience a moment of joy on what could be some of their hardest days.

Thank you for your generous support!
