Disaster Relief

A little effort can make a big difference.

Disaster Relief at FCFI

At the Fellowship of Christian Farmers, we have many members willing to help their neighbors and friends recover from the many disasters we encounter throughout the seasons.

Farmers are generally quite handy, and we can quickly organize disaster relief teams in short notice. Whether it’s fence building, tree cutting, debris hauling, or serving the work crews, we have a disaster relief project for you.

Contact the Fellowship of Christian Farmers to join a disaster relief team today! You will be a blessing to someone in need. And, you may just get blessed yourself!

Welcome to Disaster Relief!

It is our hope to partner with you, your church, FFA Chapter, or home school group to help people struggling after storms and disasters.

From building structures that have been damaged, tarping roofs, cleaning fields of debris to allow for harvest, building new fence or repairing damaged fences, or any number of needs that may arise on the farm. We want to help bring people who are able to help together with those who are in need.

Join us as we work together to make a difference in the lives of our neighbors and show the love of Jesus.
