Volunteers needed

Volunteer work teams are needed in Georgia and Tennessee during the upcoming months in response to flooding.
Disaster recovery often takes years, and help is needed long after the media fades.
Volunteers are still needed in many places around the United States, including Louisiana, Mississippi and Florida, following 2005 Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma, in Iowa, following 2008 flooding and in Georgia and West Virginia following 2009 flooding. Please explore the work team opportunities map to find where your group might plan a short term mission trip to help with disaster recovery efforts.
