 Survivors of the widespread devastation across North Texas began the long process of recovery this past weekend. FEED 3 has joined with disaster relief nonprofit Mercy Chefs this month to feed hundreds of families in West Dallas. Former Mayor Tom Leppert joined FEED 3 Christmas outreach as the keynote speaker.
 Mercy Chefs has deployed to the hard hit cities of Rowlett and Garland to provide thousands of meals. Mercy Chefs founder Gary Leblanc said: “Pulling into the disaster zone gave me a sickening feeling in my stomach. The sound of helicopters filled my ears. Debris was scattered everywhere. Mangled vehicles are strewn about everywhere I look. People are standing in front of their homes…still in shock from loosing all they had – and on the day after Christmas. It just never gets easier to see this kind of devastation.”
Mercy Chefs is on site feeding thousands of victims, volunteers and relief workers. Those wishing to help with this effort can donate to Mercy Chefs at by clicking here.
