who are the hands & feet?

“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”

-1 Corinthians 12:27

Responding to a disaster isn’t a one-man job. It takes many different people with many different skill-sets and abilities.

You are needed.

Whether you serve as the hands, the feet, or the elbows- you have a purpose and people are counting on you to use the gifts entrusted to you.

Tips for Effective Disaster Response

Here are a few simple ideas for making disaster relief go a little more smoothly.

  • Donate items that were asked for by affected individuals or organizations. Avoid bringing broken and unusable items.
  • Don’t assume that “someone else is taking care of it”. If you see a need, meet it.
  • Wait until emergency crews have finished search & rescue before entering an affected area. You don’t want to be in their way.
  • If you are a Christian, pause, pray, and plant a seed with the people you are assisting.

Organizations We Recommend

Not every relief organization truly puts the needs of the people first. Here are the ones that I recommend working with or donating to:

  • Samaritan’s Purse
  • Convoy of Hope
  • Savage Freedoms Relief Ops (WNC)
  • Hope for Homesteaders
  • The Bridge Ministries / Refuge Church (NWTN)

Ready to get to work?

Let’s get to it! Donate, sign up to volunteer, join a meal train, and start praying for the people who are displaced & hurting.

Donations
Give financially or donate requested items.

When everything is lost…

there is still hope. And part of that hope is found in the generosity of people like you who can help affected families get back on their feet.

You can choose to give a monetary donation that will be used to help an individual or family in the best way possible OR you can donate items off of the request lists.

Many hands make light work.

Join hands with others who are helping to clean up, muck out, and rebuild. Let’s work together to get people back into their homes.
