Hurricanes Helene and Milton have caused extensive damage to Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee. You can impact the lives of those in need.

You can provide practical help to people who have lost everything after the hurricane. Along the way, you can encourage them and share God's love. Serve for a day or multiple days. No experience or training necessary.

This is a developing situation, and we have partners serving in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and North Carolina. Tasks are varied and depends on location and dates available to serve. While we are deployed in numerous locations, those below are the current areas in need of additional volunteers.
