Disaster Relief Volunteers

Illinois Baptist Disaster Relief has over 1,600 trained volunteers who serve as part of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Disaster Relief ministry. Disaster Relief often responds to natural disasters by providing feeding stations, mobile kitchens, child care and chaplains. In the case of flooding, volunteers in their signature yellow shirts help homeowners with “mudout,” clearing flooded properties of debris and contaminated building materials, so they can begin rebuilding and recovery.
