If your home was damaged in the recent floods, SBTC Disaster Relief is here to help at absolutely no charge to you. Volunteers are available to remove damaged furniture, mud-out houses, take out wet sheetrock, and spray to kill mold. Please keep in mind, these crews clean up the damage, but they do not build back.

To sign up for a team to come look at your house, call 855-728-2374. If there is no answer, please leave a detailed message with your name, address, and needs. All flood relief services are provided completely free of charge to the homeowner.

So many people have stepped up to help our community over the past week, whether that meant clearing debris, delivering supplies, checking on neighbors, or helping family and friends.

Tracking volunteer hours isn’t about recognition or paperwork. What many people may not know is that those volunteer hours can help our community qualify for additional FEMA funding by counting toward the required local match.

Many people stepped up to help long before formal volunteer systems were in place and continue to support recovery efforts every day. That’s why it’s so important that all volunteer hours are documented.

If you’ve helped in any way, please take a few minutes to make sure your hours are recorded. Every act of service matters, and every hour helps support our community’s recovery. ❤️

If you need help with submitting the log or have questions, please stop by the VRC!
