Mercy Chefs, a Virginia-based disaster relief and humanitarian aid organization that serves restaurant-quality meals, is heading to the Bahamas to feed victims and first responders following Hurricane Dorian.
Co-founders Gary and Ann LeBlanc will arrive in the Bahamas this afternoon to put two mobile water purifications units in place to address the need for more drinkable water. Mercy Chefs plans to focus on long-term recovery in the Bahamas by providing hot meals and responding to other critical needs, the company said in a news release.
“Seeing the utter devastation in the Bahamas brings back every painful memory I’ve had over the past 13 years of responding to natural disasters,” LeBlanc said. “Thousands of people are in need of drinking water, and we know these units will help address one of the most immediate needs of the many people who have lost everything in recent days.”
