Hurricane Relief & Support

While the devastation Hurricane Ian has brought on our neighbors is still being discovered, what is already clear is that the relief effort needed is massive.

Serve

Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale has offered to serve as a central hub and initial logistical coordinator for relief team volunteers. Relief teams are being organized to help those who are in desperate need of help. Our on-the-ground partners, Samaritan's Purse and Convoy of Hope, have completed their damage assessments and established support hubs. We now need teams of able-bodied volunteers to help with manual labor and disaster recovery efforts.

If you’re interested in serving as a volunteer, trips will leave from Calvary Chapel Fort Lauderdale and will be deployed “first come, first served” in the order of sign-ups once we get the all-clear from our partners. Use the button below to serve in this capacity.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT:
The Disaster Relief and Crisis Fund for Church United is activated during severe storms and community crisis and serves as a fund dedicated to providing hope, help, and healing. Unlike GoFundMe, The Red Cross, and similar donation platforms, their Disaster Relief and Crisis Fund ensure that 100% of your gift goes directly to relief efforts and in service of those in desperate need without any overhead or administrative fees. 

Our commitment is to keep you informed as we coordinate with local churches and best-in-class ministry partners on the ground in areas posted to be impacted by Hurricane Ian.
