Looking for a volunteer project that will fit into your schedule? Help with disaster recovery work right here in the U.S. by joining our Disaster ReBuilders team.

The Fuller Center Disaster ReBuilders (FCDR) is a mission partner of The Fuller Center for Housing. It leads The Fuller Center’s response to large-scale disasters where many low-income homes have been destroyed. They operate under the basic philosophy of returning families to their homes by turning unlivable structures back into simple, decent housing.

FCDR is different from the covenant partners who operate in a fixed geographical area. They relocate following disasters and stay until significant recovery work has been accomplished, up to two years. If there is a covenant partner in the disaster area, FCDR will mobilize and work in partnership with its local leadership.

Disaster ReBuilders operates continuously Monday-Friday and usually has five to 12 projects going at one time. The team welcomes volunteers for any length of time, from school and church groups to RV builders. Volunteer housing is available. 


The FCDR director conducted a disaster preparedness workship at the 2nd annual Covenant Partner Conference. For the workshop material, click HERE.
