Disaster Relief Volunteering in United States

I volunteered through all hands for 2 weeks and I loved every second of it. This program was exactly what I was looking for when looking for disaster relief volunteer work. The staff was incredible and the work we were doing always felt important. Something I find super nice about this program is how affordable they make it, housing is provided by them for the duration of your time with them and food is provided on work days. This gives more people the opportunity to volunteer and allows people to stay for a longer period of time then if they had to pay for their food and housing. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone who has an interest or passion in disaster relief.

This wasn't my first All Hands and Hearts project so I had high expectations and they were met at every turn! The volunteer community is top notch and the staff are absolutely amazing. I am so glad I was able to join the North Carolina response for 3 months. I made so many new friends; some I've already met up with post program and even more I know I'll keep in touch with for years to come. My highlight was getting to partner with World Central Kitchen and learning how to make enough food to feed 500 people. One day I spent the whole morning making 10gallons of banana bread! You should definitely apply to join the NC team today!
