Disasters don’t take a break for the holidays; you have the power to give a gift to your community by volunteering. As a Disaster Action Team volunteer, you can get to be a part of something bigger than yourself, help a community member in need and feel good knowing you made an impact.

Safety First! Our need for volunteers is constant and our guidelines reflect the latest CDC safety recommendations and follow the national and local government laws. COVID-19 vaccination will be required for in-person volunteer roles beginning January 3.
