Disaster Response
Disasters can happen at any moment and often without warning. When they do happen, they can disrupt the lives of many people, causing devastating physical, spiritual, and emotional crises. Here in the Dakotas, we seek to provide relief for individuals and communities through donations of cash, goods, and/or volunteer labor. For more information on how you can get involved, contact Rick Craig or Rebecca Trefz.
