Port Mercy at Lake Charles, LA

Port Mercy is where it all begins and ends! Every project, each outreach is birthed at the Gulf Coast base that provides a home for our office, warehouses, ships, boats, aircraft and all the trucks and heavy equipment necessary to carry out our job.

Port Mercy houses our main office where voyages are conceived and planned, staff are recruited, resources are developed, and all the basic administrative tasks are carried out on a regular basis. This facility is the Southwest Louisiana home to StoreHouse One, the Friend Ships program that collects and distributes food to local organizations daily. Port Mercy is the base where our equipment receives care and maintenance; where we gather, organize and store humanitarian aid; select and train new crew, including Sea Hawks.
