DISASTER
RESPONSE

What does disaster recovery look like?

​

Hurricanes, Fires, Tornadoes, Floods— when a disaster strikes, our US Disaster Team is ready to respond! As soon we get new of a disaster (or impending disaster) our Disaster Coordinators will reach out to Church of Christ churches in areas affected to find a partner to work with. Once they’ve identified who we’re working with, they head down and set up a base camp at our partner church and start bringing in volunteers. 

By working with local pastors who know the community and the people, we’re able to more effectively identify families who need help. Then, we deploy teams of volunteers! Our volunteers are all ages and  from all over the US! Whether mucking out basements, sorting through rubble, cutting down fallen trees, moving branches, tarping broken roofs, or cleaning up yards, our volunteers do whatever they can to be the hands and feet of Jesus to families in desperate need.

After cleanup is done, we stick around to help with rebuilding efforts. This time our volunteers help with everything from building home to painting walls. When we are finally done, we hope to leave the local churches with stronger relationships and better preparation to serve their community moving forward.
