World Renew - Disaster Response Services

Faithful service. Lasting hope.

Long after the storm has passed, many families are still waiting for a safe place to call home. That is where World Renew - Disaster Response Services (DRS) volunteers step in, not just with tools and building materials, but with patience, prayer, and steady care.

Across 3 long-term recovery sites, 315 volunteers helped repair 33 homes. Each home represents more than completed work. It represents a family welcomed back into safety, dignity, and hope.

We give thanks for every volunteer, church, and partner who showed up with willing hands and compassionate hearts. Together, you helped repair homes and rebuild lives.

Hope is growing in Mitchell County, North Carolina.

Recently, volunteers from North Blendon Christian Reformed Church served with World Renew - Disaster Response Services to help a homeowner still recovering from Hurricane Helene.

Together with the Mitchell County Long Term Resilience Group, the team repaired insulation, installed drywall, built a ramp, and helped move recovery forward. Just as important, they shared time, care, and conversation along the way.

This is the beauty of long-term recovery. Local partners lead. Churches come alongside. Homes are repaired, and hope begins to take root again. As Mitchell County continues to rebuild, locally-led recovery is restoring lives!

We are thankful for North Blendon CRC and the Mitchell County Long Term Resilience Group for being part of this work.
