Disaster Response Team
As storms continue to grow in Florida and natural disasters place a burden on our communities, we are building awareness on disaster relief by training and fundraising in order to meet the needs of our communities during a crisis.
Volunteers can be involved with various types of disaster response including hurricane assistance and clean up, assisting with answering calls for help, coordinating donations and being beacons of hope. There is a role for everyone!
Volunteers can be involved with:
- Early Response Teams- be trained to be part of the Early Response Team to assist with local disasters. Join a work team to provide a caring presence and assistance for survivors, helping to prevent further damage to a family’s property. Early Response Teams travel to local disasters for 1-3 days to provide assistance.
- Local Response Teams – assist local St. Lukers who need assistance following a storm. These teams assist within a few days of a storm for a few hours.
- Call Center Volunteers – be part of a local team to assist the community and answer calls for assistance. Last year more than 2,000 calls came into the Conference following the storms and we are seeking volunteers to help provide a listening ear and assistance at St. Luke’s to answer the calls.
- Donation Collections-Help organize efforts to gather and distribute essential supplies.
