Alongside with our volunteers and partner networks, World Renew DRS arrive on the ground to serve communities after the initial impact of a disaster, helping the most vulnerable survivors rebuild their lives and gain long-term stability.
We are actively working with vulnerable communities across the United States to repair homes and rebuild lives.
In March 2026, severe storms and tornadoes tore through southwest Michigan. World Renew is monitoring the situation and is prepared to send volunteer support alongside local partners.
In December 2025, heavy rains in the Pacific Northwest brought flooding and destruction. World Renew is responding to vulnerable families in Whatcom Valley with needs assessments, clean ups, and rebuilding projects.
In January 2025, wildfires swept through southern California. World Renew has responded with volunteer efforts to clean out the homes of vulnerable families.
`Our partnerships with local long-term recovery organizations help strengthen their capacity, creating a strong network that can respond effectively to the local community’s needs.
We also partner with churches and their volunteer networks, such as the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRCNA), the Reformed Church in America (RCA), the Alliance of Reformed Churches (ARC), and the ECO Presbyterian Church, so that we can provide the right support at the right time to communities affected by disaster.
Gifts like yours are a lifeline for communities as they rebuild and become more resilient for the future. By making a recurring or one-time gift to World Renew’s North American disaster response, you can ensure help is ready when and where it’s needed most.
From small tools to clean up kits, your gifts will support DRS volunteers and disaster-affected communities across North America.
