Volunteer Organizations

When disasters strike, it sometimes leaves residents with a big task of cleaning up and returning to normal, which can be a difficult task. Volunteer organizations dispatch volunteers with skills and knowledge to help with specific things, like debris cleanup or restoration. Below are a few of the organizations that you can reach out to if you need assistance after a storm or disaster. 

Volunteer Organizations
  • American Red Cross, also referred to as ARC or Red Cross, can help provide assistance and information on subjects like emotional and financial recovery. https://www.redcross.org/about-us/our-work/disaster-relief.html
  • Texans on Mission, formerly referred to as Texas Baptist Men, can provide help by providing meals, chainsaw teams to move fallen and damaged trees, and clean and repair damaged homes. https://www.texansonmission.org/disaster-relief/ 
  • While 211 is not a volunteer organization itself, they are a resource to help connect people with volunteer organizations with knowledge and skills to help with specific needs. They ask questions about your needs and location to help determine the best options for you. To reach them, dial 2-1-1 from your phone or visit their website at https://www.211texas.org/.
