Mennonite Disaster Service (MDS)

Description

This organization works with congregations to organize volunteers who repair and rebuild homes after disasters. Serving in the U.S. and Canada, Mennonite Disaster Service believes in responding with love to people who lose their homes in a disaster. To help people return to their homes, Mennonite Disaster Service organizes volunteers who have a range of experience levels and skills, from people who have no experience and a little time to people who can lead a building project or volunteer year-round.
