Help give new life to communities impacted by disaster by helping people rebuild their homes.
Disasters impact people’s lives every year. They cause serious disruption in already-struggling communities, especially when people’s homes are severely damaged. Recovery often takes months, even years.
That’s why World Renew Disaster Response Services provide long-term assistance to the most vulnerable by assessing their needs and rebuilding their homes.
How We Help
Disaster Clean Up
After a disaster, volunteers help by mucking out flooded homes, removing downed trees, completing repairs, and tarping roofs.
Needs Assessment
The next step is to conduct community surveys to determine the long-term recovery needs of vulnerable survivors.
Home Repairs
In the months and years after a disaster, World Renew DRS staff and volunteers help rebuild survivors’ homes for the long term.
Surviving the Storm
Riley’s story has been rewritten by God’s love after devastating flooding in her community.
Watch how George Fox University students are boldly rebuilding hope in flood survivors’ lives with DRS.
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
Our Partnerships
We come together to help communities rebuild after disasters like hurricanes, floods, and tornadoes. We believe our partnerships make us stronger and help us to better support the needs of those who need assistance the most.
Our partnerships with local long-term recovery organizations help strengthen their capacity, creating a strong network that can respond effectively to the local community’s needs.
We also partner with other churches and their volunteer networks, so that we can provide the right support at the right time to communities affected by disaster.
