+ The Problem

Volunteers are getting frustrated…They’re leaving!!

It’s very difficult, almost impossible, to volunteer after a disaster because relief organizations require you to have participated in their training, agree with their religious views or be affiliated with a particular group before you can start helping people.

Most volunteers aren’t aware of this and when they arrive to the affected area, eager and willing to make a difference, their time is wasted being sent from one organization to another. They stand around in parking lots waiting for someone to lead them. Ultimately, volunteers get frustrated and they leave… never having been able to help their neighbors in need.

+ Part of the Solution

So how do we fix this? What can be done to insure prejudice doesn’t prevent relief? How do we connect neighbors that need help with neighbors that want to help… Well, we think part of the solution is just getting out there and doing it!! Our founder didn’t go to college for emergency management. We didn’t know everything there was to know. And yet we’ve traveled to multiple countries, led relief efforts in more than 15 disasters and we’ve helped over 50,000 neighbors, whether they needed assistance or wanted to make a difference by giving assistance. So are we the solution? No. But when a disaster happens we’re going to deploy, implement our seven step system and we’re going to love our neighbors, regardless of their race, religion, education or income!
