EIGHT DAYS OF HOPE INC

Eight days of hope also has a rapid response arm of its ministry. The primary goal of its rapid response team is to show the love of jesus christ to disaster victims 48-72 hours after a disaster strikes anywhere in the contiguous 48 states. The means to meeting this goal are through clearing debris, tarping roofs, gutting water-damaged homes, and salvaging personal property. These are the most basic immediate actions necessary to preserve property and livelihood. In so doing, the volunteers seek to build bonds with homeowners, community leaders, and other disaster relief organizations for immediate relief in hope of laying a foundation for future disaster- recovery efforts.
