I'm thrilled to report that our team fed 300 Isaac victims and
volunteers this morning. By lunchtime, the line stretched a
quarter mile to our Mercy Chefs kitchen. We were able to feed
475 more people before our supplies ran out due to the
transportation challenges we have faced in this area that is
still devastated by Isaac.
We are re-stocking and will be ready to feed 800 people for
dinner as we service three locations -- Slidell, Kenner and
Baton Rouge. And then it all starts again Sunday morning and
throughout the Labor Day weekend.
Conditions have been very challenging. The storm's slow path
combined with the massive flooding have made this deployment one
of the most difficult we have faced. Hundreds of thousands are
without power. And now the heat and humidity have set back in.
I can't even express to you what it means to serve a hot meal to
a victim of a natural disaster who is homeless or without power
and has literally no place to turn.
This is one of the most
practical ways you can help fellow Americans who right now are
facing extremely difficult circumstances in the aftermath of
Hurricane Isaac.
If you
want to help us, I would be greatly appreciative. Your gifts to
Mercy Chefs are fully tax-deductible and will help us provide
hot meals to thousands of families who are without power or
homeless in the aftermath of Isaac. Please go here now to donate.

For now,
thanks
in advance for your help as we feed 800 people for dinner this
evening -- and then provide thousands more meals throughout
the holiday weekend.
May God bless you,
Gary LeBlanc
