What it says it does

We are an all volunteer group that assist individuals and families who are at or below the poverty level to repair and rebuild their homes due to a natural disaster. In April 2024 we had a severe flood that damaged over 80 homes in Jasper and Newton Counties. We repair homes based on the income level, level of need, and Veteran Status. We use all grant funding to repair or rebuild these homes. We are continuing to repair homes into 2025 with grant funds. All of our labor is volunteer labor from different groups of volunteers.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
