Hurricane Harvey hit in August 2017 and caused huge amounts of damage. Even now, many areas in Texas still have not recovered from the devastation caused by the hurricane. We currently have a project running in Wharton County, Texas to help the community with rebuilding homes, including installing insulation and drywall, painting, and basic carpentry.
NECHAMA welcomes volunteers, from around the world, with a passion to help others regardless of religious faith or background. No previous disaster rebuild experience is necessary- our skilled team leaders will teach you everything you need to know to make a difference.
Whether you’re local and want to join us for a day, or from around the country and want to spend a week with our team, we provide the opportunity to experience a rewarding volunteer effort in assisting storm-affected families.
We provide free accommodations, 3 meals/day on work days, and all the necessary support and logistics for you to have a positive and productive volunteer experience. We work 9am - 4pm, 5 days per week.

Mission Statement
NECHAMA is a volunteer organization dedicated to helping families, and communities prepare for, clean up and recover from natural disasters. Our home base is located in the Minneapolis/St. Paul, Twin Cities area. We respond to natural disasters nation-wide.
Description
NECHAMA (Hebrew for comfort) is the Jewish community's disaster response organization. Based in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, NECHAMA has deployed thousands of volunteers to help communities clean-up after floods, tornados, and other natural disasters.
Rooted in the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world), NECHAMA offers help to all people regardless of religious affiliation. We do not ask "Who are you?" but rather "How can we help?" We work shoulder-to-shoulder with homeowners in urban and rural areas, generally providing help to the most vulnerable: the elderly, the poor, single parents, and people with disabilities or other health problems.
