OUR DISASTER RESPONSE SERVICES
Breathe new life into communities impacted by disaster by building a culture of strength and hope.
Disasters, whether human-made or natural, impact people’s lives every year. They cause serious disruption in communities, including serious infrastructural, environmental, and personal losses as well as countless deaths.
That’s why Disaster Response Services rebuilds hope and shares God’s love through holistic disaster recovery work.
Repair homes. Redirect Lives.
Your time helps organizations in disaster-impacted communities to repair homes and find solutions for homeowners to redirect their paths toward hope.

How we help
A holistic approach to disaster response in North America.
Clean-up and debris removal
In the aftermath of destruction, volunteers help by mucking out flooded homes, removing downed trees, completing minor repairs, and tarping roofs after a disaster.
Needs assessment
The next step in our emergency response is to interview survivors to discover their unmet needs after a disaster. This information is passed on to local recovery organizations so they can manage the local response.
Home repairs
We have a long term presence in communities under the leadership of long term recovery organizations to repair homes. Schools, churches, families, and businesses can go to a disaster site for one week with the DRS Groups Program. Individuals and couples can serve with the DRS Traditional Program for three weeks at a reconstruction site.
Our partnerships
Change comes faster when there are more people united under the same goal.
When we come together and learn to collaborate towards a common goal, we can better support those who need our help the most.
By partnering with other churches and organizations, we are able to maximize our help and support to the right people at the right time.
Hope ignited

Over the last decade, World Renew has managed to bring hope to at least 1 million survivors of disasters around the world, repairing communities and reigniting hope. Here are our stories of repair and faith:
