Monday planning meetings of @globalempowermentmissionua mission leads of Zaporizhia, Kherson, Donetsk, Summy, Dnipro, Kharkiv and Chernihiv regions of Ukraine. These regions are covered by our GEM HGBF food, wash and shelter programs.
These guys hand deliver over 8000 pallets of aid per month to the families living in the frontline areas supporting over 550,000 people. They risk their lives daily to do the work that no one else does, getting aid directly into people’s hands.

Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) teams respond to most disasters within the first 1-2 days. In the wake of Hurricane Francine, GEM was on the ground immediately after the storm made landfall assessing needs. Our teams are already delivering aid to distribution centers across Louisiana, providing critical relief to communities impacted by the hurricane. Today, GEM delivered multiple pallets of supplies to the New Orleans Convention Center, where they will be distributed starting tomorrow for a one day event called, The Big Health Expo presented by the Urban League of Louisana.
GEM also made a delivery in Houma, Louisiana, where the Terrebonne Civic Center will be distributing disaster relief at their Multi-Agency Resource Center. Food and supplies are now available for pickup with many residents in this parish still without power.
Additionally, GEM has delivered a pallet of water and tarps to the Bayou Dularge Fire Station to support their upcoming distributions for local residents. This is the same station GEM partnered with following Hurricane Ida in 2021.

Our @globalempowermentmissioneur team visited several care and education facilities in Germany that support children deprived of parental care due to challenging family circumstances. We were able to provide toys to the children residing in these homes, some of whom stay for several years until their family situations stabilize. @good360usa @globalempowermentmission @derhafenhilft

This @abc7newsbayarea story highlights how former fire survivors have shifted from victim to helper #globalempowermentmission. “We all have a story. The difference is: do you use the story to empower yourself? Or do you use your story to keep yourself a victim? The question itself empowers you to change your life.” ~Sunny Dawn Johnston #californiafires #empowerment #power #within #gemusawest To learn more, and how you can help, please visit the link in our bio section above.
@globalempowermentmissioneur delivered GEM Family Necessities Kits to fireman in North Macedonia for distribution to those individuals and families affected by the wide scale fires.

Please take a moment to watch this important 30 Day recap video of GEM’s mission response to Hurricane Beryl. For more than ten days, Hurricane Beryl swept through the Windward Islands, Jamaica, Southern Mexico and Texas. This catastrophic storm triggered a multi country response and deployment from the Global Empowerment Mission team. In the first 30 days, GEM headquarters in Miami dispatched over 200,000 lbs of humanitarian cargo, including generators, tarps, and thousands of family emergency kits.
Simultaneously delivering assistance to multiple islands and countries requires strong partnerships with government and community leaders. In the midst of chaos and destruction, these relationships are instrumental to our speed and efficiency. The foundation of our success requires seamless coordination - but most importantly - delivering on decisions in real-time. A very special thank you to the following for being such an instrumental part of these recovery efforts. @sflcaribbeanstrong @ncbfoundation #bstrong @airlinkflight @good360usa @drinkdripdrop #caribbeanconsularcorps @myearthbreeze @janicelyttlefoundation @bredstreasurebeach @odpem @pmogrenada @marlonhill @mairoliver @kindsnacks @pricesmartjm @wardspowertools_ #governmentofjamaica #governmentofgrenada #lubetzkyfamilyfoundation @amazon @airservintl @howardwardfoundation @spartannashco @goyafoods @goyacares @m25m_org #wtw

A very special thank you to @airlinkflight for all that Airlink has done to assist GEM’s Hurricane Beryl response. This tremendous delivery of 70,000 lbs of aid to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as surrounding islands, would not have been possible without the generous contributions of Airlink and its partners. GEM quickly mobilized 102 pallets of much-needed survival cargo, allowing us to occupy the majority of the flight and provide our local partners and the Caribbean community with food, shelter, and hygiene support. We extend our personal thanks to Brigid McKeon, Alexa Cortes, and the rest of the Airlink team for giving us the opportunity to serve the Caribbean community during this challenging time. #airlink #hurricaneberyl #humanitarian #gemmissions #carribean
We’re thrilled to announce the opening of the new Sacred Hearts school in Lahaina, Maui.
