All donations designated to Disaster Relief are used for victims’
assistance. TBDR is a part of the larger Southern Baptist disaster
relief ministry and coordinates all response through our partners,
(FEMA, Red Cross, Salvation Army and other national relief
agencies). We have over 10,000 volunteers who provide relief through
recovery (chainsaw and flood recovery), mass feeding, childcare,
chaplaincy, water purification, mobile showers, laundry services,
