## Resource

Venezuela’s earthquake devastation has claimed over 1,400 lives and left thousands injured, but Mercy Chefs from Hampton Roads is already on the ground, feeding victims, volunteers, and first responders with five daily meal sites in hardest-hit zones — even stepping in to support a hospital with a destroyed kitchen. Despite airport closures and visa delays, their U.S. team is en route, committed to staying for at least a month. For survivors digging through rubble with little help, these meals are more than sustenance — they’re a lifeline of hope and dignity, proving no one’s forgotten in the chaos.
