When a powerful derecho swept through Lake County, Indiana, on August 11, 2026, leaving thousands without power, our team stepped in. Over 11 intense days, our dedicated volunteers provided 35,550 hot meals to families in need. Yet amid the widespread destruction, what inspired us most wasn’t the storm’s devastation – it was the resilience of the community.
Watching neighbors lift each other up during their hardest moments reaffirmed the heart of our mission.
To every volunteer who stepped up, every donor who gave, and every sponsor who made our response possible: thank you. This impact is yours.
Indiana, you have earned a lasting place in our hearts. Stay strong, and keep us updated on your recovery!
