Active Disaster Events
Response & Support Opportunities
As disastrous events have increased over the years, leaders and individuals from across the country have expressed the need for a simple way to identify opportunities to help.
Established as a result of relational connections between Church, Nonprofit, and Disaster Response leaders from across the country, Serve Source began in May of 2022 and has focused all efforts on developing this communication platform to support connections and share the most pertinent needs and opportunities.
When large-scale events occur, you will find direct news links, maps, and partner organizations we believe will be helpful. Bridging the communication gap, we believe God will use every part to bring hope through the Local Church.
