Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders Begins Work in St John Parish, LA

Looking for a volunteer project that will fit into your schedule? Help with disaster recovery work right here in the U.S. by joining our Disaster ReBuilders team.

The Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders (FCDR) is a mission partner of The Fuller Center for Housing. It leads The Fuller Center’s response to large-scale disasters where many low-income homes have been destroyed. They operate under the basic philosophy of returning families to their homes by turning unlivable structures back into simple, decent housing.

FCDR is different from the covenant partners who operate in a fixed geographical area. They relocate following disasters and stay until significant recovery work has been accomplished, up to two years. If there is a covenant partner in the disaster area, FCDR will mobilize and work in partnership with its local leadership.

Current Location: Disaster ReBuilders currently is gearing up for work in St John Parish, LA, located just 30 miles west of New Orleans. With more than 7,000 homes flooded in St John Parish, Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders has chosen the town of LaPlace, LA to set up operations. They will be working with the families who would be unable to return to their homes without assistance. If you would like to make contact with Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders and be part of this project contact Bartow Tucker at DisasterReBuilders@fullercenter.org.
