Goal One: Our organization started in 2018 as a small oranization our goal is to increase the number of trained disaster volunteers and better equip them to respond to disasters throughout the country.

Goal Two: We are always searching for ways to meet unmet needs in the midst of a disaster. We will continue to add programs as we find the need and the financial means to fulfill that need.

Goal Three: We strive to improve our ability to respond to those impacted by a disaster. If we determine a program is ineffective or is a duplicate of another organization's effort we will revaluate that program.

Our board regularly attends conferences designed for leadership in disaster response. Several of our leaders have completed multiple online training sessions provided by FEMA and other organizations.

Our organization is a disaster ministry that provides volunteers and resources to victims of disaster. Each disaster is different so our response varies every time we engage in a response. We continue to add programs to our response that help to provide for unmet needs that we see, We recently added a children's backpack program to provide young people with something to do when many or all their belongings have been lost. we continue to look into how we can reach out to children in the midst of disaster. We have started training 14 to 18-year-olds to be able to help in response. We are implementing background checks to protect those we help and our volunteers. We adapted to the environment Covid created to provide our volunteers with a safe work site and camp. We are a young organization, but we will continue to adapt to better serve those in the midst of disaster.
