Mercy Chefs serves over 25,000 meals in multiple states after Helene.

Helene was one of the deadliest storms in recent U.S. history, and has now also caused huge changes for the communities it damaged.

More than 1.2 million customers were still in the dark on Wednesday in the Carolinas and Georgia.

Residents cooked food on grills and hiked in the hopes of finding a cell signal to let loved ones know they were alive.

Ann LeBlanc, co-founder and president at Mercy Chefs, said the organization has served over 25,000 meals to residents hurt by the storm and plans to ramp up to serving some 20,000 per day just in Asheville, North Carolina.
