Disaster Relief
“Organizations Doing More Together” Southern Baptist Disaster Relief (SBDR) teams respond to fires, ice storms, tornadoes, damaging winds, hurricanes, and flooding across the United States. SBDR is one of the three largest relief organizations in America and includes flood cleanup efforts and long-term rebuilding in the wake of flooding. Southern Baptist volunteers prepare most of the meals distributed by the American Red Cross, as well as provide additional vital disaster services. Southern Baptists have more than 1,550 mobile disaster response units on call for local, state, and national emergencies, with more than one hundred thousand trained volunteers scattered across the nation.

Disaster Relief Team is ready to minister in Jesus’ name wherever and whenever the call goes out!
Our own D.R. Crew is one of many SBDR ‘Recovery Units’. Also known as ‘chainsaw units’, these groups of
volunteers are some of the first to render aid after natural disasters. Removing downed trees, clearing
pathways into damaged properties, and helping property owners move and recover personal items are just
some of the ways they demonstrate Christ’s love in the midst of catastrophe.
