Disaster Relief Sunday is May 31

Whenever there is a disaster, the Baptist Resource Network's Disaster Relief volunteers are often quickly on the scene—and they remain long after news cameras leave town. As the third-largest disaster response team in the nation, this network of state-based volunteers teams do more than just clean up; they bring the healing of Christ to those whose lives have been shattered. Your support of Disaster Relief impacts countless individuals who are being the hands and feet of Jesus to hurting people.

When disaster strikes, hope must rise.

That’s why the disaster relief ministry of the Baptist Resource Network stands ready to serve communities across Pennsylvania and South Jersey with compassion, care, and the love of Christ.

From floods and fires to storms and crisis response, trained volunteers bring practical help and spiritual hope to people in their darkest moments. They clear debris, provide meals, offer prayer, and remind hurting families they are not alone.
And this summer marks an exciting new chapter as the Baptist Resource Network breaks ground on the new Response and Relief Center — a dedicated hub that will expand training, mobilize volunteers faster, store critical equipment, and strengthen our ability to respond when disaster comes.

Disaster Relief Sunday is an opportunity for every church to pray, give, and go. Together, we can bring help, healing, and the hope of Jesus to those who need it most.
