Who we are

We are United Methodist Volunteers in South Carolina who are dedicated to showing the love of Jesus to others in the aftermath of a disaster. We have teams and regional coordinators that cover our state from border to border. Our teams consist of 6 - 12 people. All members receive 8 hours of basic disaster training plus first aid and and CPR. Additionally trained personnel in chainsaw safety, CISM and EMS accompany each team. Personnel are rotated in and out every 3 to 4 days due to the intense physical and mental stress associated with true disaster response.

What we need

We need your help prayerfully, physically, financially, materially (RV's, trailers,tractors, tools,etc.) We also need you to pass the word that we are here so when a disaster occurs people will know who to call for help.

 

 



Our Vision

To be the hands and feet of Jesus to all hurting & devastated people to whom God directs us.
