Mission
This mission brings relief and hope to people, by helping them in
the process of rebuilding their storm- or flood-damaged homes.
The immediate impact of this work on the tired and anxious people
served is immense; many of them are financially or emotionally
unable to start the rebuilding process on their own. This also
serves the greater community as each neighborhood is improved and
people are encouraged to return home.
Areas served
