NCCC AmeriCorps SW Region team Grizzly 5 is active in Oklahoma on a 6 week service project. These young adults are learning what it means to serve your neighbor as they perform construction tasks for disaster surviving families who have waited over a year for help. Roofing, insulation, drywall, painting, etc. are all tasks the team is learning how to accomplish. Listening to disaster survivors share their story is also part of the task, but also part of the recovery as the families heal through having volunteers provide much needed help.
Disaster survivors in Oklahoma are growing in number after this years border to border tornadoes have wreaked havoc in numerous towns. Volunteers from no skill to high skill are needed and are able to help. Through professional contractor project management any volunteer willing can make a difference in a disaster survivors life. Help is needed, help is in your hands!

Roof Repairs - Put Back
In the aftermath of a disaster, the importance of rebuilding communities cannot be overstated. With countless lives disrupted and homes damaged, the endeavor to construct new dwellings and reconstruct existing dwellings serves as a beacon of hope amidst despair. Often, this monumental task is undertaken with the invaluable assistance of volunteer labor, where individuals from all walks of life come together with a shared purpose: to help those in need. These volunteers, driven by compassion and a desire to make a tangible difference, offer their time, skills, and resources to make homes home again for disaster survivors. Their efforts not only provide shelter but also symbolize the resilience and solidarity of humanity in times of adversity. Through their dedication and altruism, they not only rebuild structures but also restore faith and inspire communities to emerge stronger than before. Each nail hammered, each wall erected, represents a step towards healing and renewal, as survivors find solace in the warmth and security of their newly built homes. In the hands of volunteers, these structures transcend mere buildings; they become tangible expressions of compassion and solidarity, embodying the unwavering support of a global community united in the face of adversity.

On Going Recovery

Families are always in need after a disaster, and often for years following. ROAD continues to serve disaster surviving families in need with free home repairs. Volunteers are the backbone for this service and we are continually grateful for those who serve and for those who donate, both making our mission possible.
We are currently serving June 2023, April 2023, and May 2022 disaster survivors in multiple counties across the state. Tornadoes, floods, and straight line winds have impacted many families and as we move into the winter months, many will face challenges in not having their homes repaired.
Your ongoing support is what Makes Homes Home Again!
Please volunteer and donate today.
