Relief
Immediate assistance when crisis strikes.
Bringing hope to those who need it most.
Responding with Compassion in Crisis
When disaster strikes, every moment counts. Natural disasters, conflicts, and humanitarian emergencies can devastate communities in an instant, leaving families without shelter, food, or hope. MERCY’s relief efforts are designed to bridge the critical gap between crisis and recovery, providing immediate assistance to those most vulnerable when they need it most.
The reality is stark: in a major disaster, government aid may not arrive for 3 to 7 days. The real first responders are those around you—neighbors, family, and community members. That’s why MERCY mobilizes swiftly, compassionately, and strategically to meet urgent needs and offer a lifeline during the darkest times.
Stories of Hope from the Field
When crisis strikes, MERCY responds with both urgency and heart. Our relief efforts go beyond meeting immediate needs—we restore dignity, rebuild hope, and stand with communities through their darkest hours.
Mobilizing Hope When Time is Critical
Our MERCY Ambassadors form rapid response teams that can deploy within hours of a disaster. From wading through floodwaters during Hurricane Harvey to delivering supplies across treacherous terrain after earthquakes, our teams bring both practical aid and the message that no one is forgotten.
Preparing for Tomorrow’s Challenges
True relief isn’t just about responding to disasters—it’s about building resilience before they strike. Through our disaster preparedness programs, we’ve served over 1,000 residents, empowering communities to be their own first responders.
Transforming Crisis into Hope
Since 2008, MERCY has responded to crises across the globe, from devastating earthquakes and hurricanes to conflict zones and wildfires. Our relief efforts have provided immediate assistance during some of the world's most challenging disasters, including the Chile earthquake and tsunami, Hurricane Harvey, the Ukraine war, and the Maui wildfires12.
Every crisis response represents lives saved, families reunited, and communities given the chance to rebuild stronger than before.
