CHAINSAW

Learn how to safely use a chain saw to cut down a tree or to limb a tree once on the ground. Also learn how to properly maintain the saw and how to sharpen the chain. We need people to use chain saws, pull brush and become a trailer monitor.

FLOOD RECOVERY

When a home is flooded a person’s whole life is upended. Everything that came in contact with water has to be cleared out. When a family has to throw out life long mementos, they need help. The Disaster Relief family shows compassion and helps remove these items. Disaster Relief volunteers also spray the home to prevent mold buildup.

FEEDING

Nothing provides comfort, encouragement, and strength after a disaster than a good meal. The Disaster Relief family prepares meals for the workers and helps feed the survivors. The Disaster Relief feeding unit can prepare 60 – 5000 meals in one day. Nothing is more gratifying for the feeding team to see the smiles on the faces of the folks they are feeding.

CHAPLAIN

If you enjoy showing compassion to people in need then Chaplaincy may be your calling. To be a Chaplain, you must be trained in another Disaster Relief discipline. We want our Chaplains to understand all aspects of a disaster and recovery. The Chaplain serves the needs of the volunteers, as well as survivors of a disaster. Chaplains are trained in crisis management.

SHOWER UNIT

Remember how a hot shower felt after a hard day’s work? The DR family provides a shower unit for the volunteers. The unit is equipped with showers and laundry facilities. Having clean clothes, hot shower, and a hot meal are services the Disaster Relief family provides for the volunteers.
