Church World Service (CWS) assists those affected by disaster through spiritual, physical, and psychological care by empowering local, regional, and state religious leadership to collaborate in building or restoring a sense of recovered community.
CWS may send material resources to disaster sites as the need is determined and direct requests are received and DRRL staff responds to disasters throughout the United States on behalf of its 36 member communions and affiliated agencies.
CWS works with and through cooperative faith-based state and local partners and disaster response organizations. Disaster Response and Recovery Liaisons facilitate the work of community partners by serving as organizers, consultants, technical advisors, and links to outside resources.
Disaster Resources:
• DRRL who work with FEMA, American Red Cross, and other voluntary agencies in the development of long term recovery programs
• Blankets, personal care kits, and other material resources as requested by faith-based organizations for distribution by themselves and other disaster response agencies
• Access to specialized volunteers from outside the community for such tasks as spiritual care, volunteer coordination, home rehabilitation and repair, childcare, casework, and organizational capacity building
• Connections to local congregations and denominational middle level governing bodies for spiritual care services, volunteers, materials, program support, and needs interpretation.
