When disasters strike, Week of Compassion is here to help:
before, during, and after.

In order to protect volunteers and communities we serve during the COVID-19 pandemic, Disciples Volunteering has closed all disaster recovery mission stations. Week of Compassion joins them in recommending against volunteer teams traveling for the time being. Volunteers responding to local disasters should use caution and heed the guidance of public health officials.

Week of Compassion offers resources and training opportunities to help congregations prepare and respond. Immediately following disasters in the United States and Canada, Week of Compassion works through local congregations and regions to provide guidance, connections, and resources for navigating disaster response. We invest the majority of our disaster response resources in long-term recovery, primarily for the purpose of repairing and rebuilding homes. In coordination with Disciples Volunteering and other partners, Week of Compassion also supports opportunities for Disciples to offer hands-on assistance.
