Our Mission:

Our organization has been serving communities at times of disasters for almost a decade. Our mission is to support the members of a community in their time of need, and work towards a greater good. We are tireless in our efforts to help those in need following a disaster with food, household and personal items that may be overlooked in initial responses. We help all those seeking help in a time of need. Our non-profit organization serves people of all races, creeds, and religions. We do not discriminate. We merely support our fellow communities in the Contintental United States, and serve as a guiding light.

What is America's Disaster Relief?
America's Disaster Relief is a non-profit organization supported solely by grants, fund raisers and donations. It is recognized as a 501(c) (3) tax-exempt organization by the Internal Revenue Service.

What is the purpose of America's Disaster Relief?
The goal of America's Disaster Relief is to help families in the Continental United States get back on their feet after disasters like floods, fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, or other catastrophic events. We offer needed items when the shock wears off and reality sets in.

How does this organization work?
We assist in two different ways:
We have a Mobile Disaster Kitchen – when geographically possible we go to the disaster location and feed disaster victims FREE in their neighborhood.
When fire, floods, tornadoes, and hurricanes strike, America's Disaster Relief is a second responder. After the first responders leave, America's Disaster Relief arrives to help survivors put their lives back together with personal and household items delivered by 18 wheelers to a prearranged distribution location.
