Meals and Hope from Mercy Kitchen

Share

Hurricane Ian wreaked havoc across Central Florida, forcing families, seniors and people with special needs to seek refuge at area shelters, taking only the basic necessities with them.

In response, Second Harvest volunteers ramped up meal production at Mercy Kitchen. The facility is designed to flex and respond to any kind of disaster. Hurricane Ian is the first storm to test its resolve since it opened in 2021.
