Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort, Nashville, TN. Their website: www.disasterreliefeffort.org

Mission: Incorporated in 1994, Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort immediately responds to major disasters in the continental United States by sending truckloads of food, water, cleaning, and other supplies to disaster victims. The organization has distributed more than $200 million in emergency food and supplies in response to over 400 disasters in 47 states. Churches of Christ Disaster Relief only works through the local Church of Christ in or nearby the community or town where the disaster has occurred. If there is no Church of Christ in the town, Disaster Relief will contact the nearest town that has a Church of Christ and ask for help. The supplies and other household goods will be distributed by that congregation in the name of the Lord to anyone who has been affected by the disaster regardless of race, color, creed, or religion.

Financial support is used to purchase new appliances, beds, cleaning supplies, canned foods and personal hygiene items like diapers that people need after disasters such as tornadoes, floods, wild fires and more. These items are warehoused in advance so that support can be tailored to the type of disaster. Truckloads are sent within days not weeks where this support is distributed by nearby church of Christ congregations willing to help. In 2024 the value of disaster relief distributed was $7.5 million.

Healing Hands International/Walk4Water in Nashville, TN. Their website: www.hhi.org

Mission: Walk4Water is a fundraising program within Healing Hands International that helps support its Clean Water program. Starting in 2007, Walk4Water has hosted events in communities all over the nation at schools, churches, and organizations. The goal is to bring the life-saving gift of clean water to those who need it so desperately. Since 2001, HHI has provided over 1,500 clean water wells drilled in over twenty countries. The impact is exponential — clean water leads to abundant life!

We in the United States take the availability of clean water for granted. Water is available easily just turning on our taps. In parts of the world without access to clean water people have to walk to surface water sources that are either contaminated by animals or unreliable year round. With financial support wells are drilled, hand pumps installed and lives are changed by less disease, irrigated gardens to sustain communities and time is found for education.
