Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders
With an abundance of caution for you and for those we serve, we're again accepting reservations at all three of our current bases of operation. Clearly, there will changes as we comply with different state mandates and evolving CDC guidelines. And, yes, the experience will be different but your volunteer contribution is still desperately needed by so many in all of the disaster areas we serve.
FLORIDA
We are rebuilding in the communities around Panama City in Bay County, hard-hit by Hurricane Michael in 2018. We're excited about working in partnership with our long-time friends, Mercy Chefs. They're providing meals and accommodations for 25 of you each week. We’ll provide the construction leadership, tools and projects — and you provide the energy and passion for serving. You've seen the pictures, but this is definitely the closest thing to Katrina since 2005. One difference — very little flood damage, mostly big wind!
Florida Volunteer Dates Availability
All weeks have some availability.
NORTH CAROLINA
We are rebuilding in New Bern, N.C., and the surrounding communities recovering from the high winds and torrential flooding of Hurricane Florence in September 2018. Yes, we're approaching the two-year point, but the need remains large. We have capacity to host 40 volunteers (20 maximum for youth groups). Cost is $125/person. We’ll provide the construction leadership, tools and projects — and you provide the passion for serving families in need.
N.C. Volunteer Dates Availability
All weeks have some availability.
TEXAS
As we approach the three-year anniversary of Hurricane Harvey, we're still finding homeowners who need our help. Our area of operation is the I-45 corridor from southeast Houston to Texas City. We have very limited availability for volunteer housing, so please call before signing up. We’ll provide the construction leadership, tools and projects — and you provide the passion for serving families in need. In 2020 we're doing repair and rebuild as well as five entirely new homes for families whose homes were completely destroyed.
