Who We Are

Since 1974 Friends Disaster Service has helped many victims recover from the results of natural and man made disasters.  It is the intent of this volunteer clean up and rebuild assistance organization to help disaster victims return to normal by providing them with physical, emotional and spiritual support. 

Here's How it Works

1. When FDS decides (through God's leading) to respond to a particular disaster, we go to the location, find a church or other building where we can house our volunteers (often on the floor), and a kitchen, where we can feed our crews.

2. We then contact and inform our pre-registered volunteers with the particulars (time, location, etc.).

3. Volunteers assemble at the site and go to work. 

Friends Disaster Service networks and cooperates with Red Cross and the other 37 member agencies of National Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (N-VOAD).
