Volunteers from the “Southern Baptists of Texas Convention Disaster Relief” are transporting two mobile kitchens to affected areas of the Sunshine State. According to director Scottie Stice, the faith-based group is praying against the storm, but they stand ready to serve those who survive Hurricane Ian.

The SBTC Disaster Relief is sending two separate groups to the state of Florida, with one heading out as early as Wednesday with the other departing on Saturday. Stice says they are partnering with the Salvation Army to provide 7,500 meals per day to hurricane victims, but are capable of preparing up to 20,000 meals per day if needed.
