Break Description

Communities along the Gulf Coast have faced repeated devastation from hurricanes and other natural disasters, leaving families displaced and struggling to rebuild. The Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders, a faith-driven nonprofit, has been walking alongside these communities for years, offering hope and practical support by repairing and rebuilding homes for those who need it most. With the Fuller Center, we have the opportunity to join this mission of renewal and help families return to safe, stable housing. 

During our visit, we’ll take part in hands-on projects such as repairing storm-damaged homes, painting, installing drywall, or working on finishing touches that turn a house into a home. Every task, big or small, makes a direct impact on families who have endured the long road of disaster recovery. Along the way, we’ll also gain insight into how disasters affect vulnerable communities and how grassroots organizations step up to meet urgent needs. 

Come prepared for physical service that may involve lifting, bending, painting, and working with tools. No prior construction experience is required, just a willingness to learn, lend a hand, and work as part of a team. Flexibility is key, as project needs may shift depending on the stage of recovery and the families being served. 

Evenings will provide a chance to cook meals together, share stories, and reflect on the day’s work as we build connections not only with each other, but also with the larger community of volunteers and residents.
