Current Programs
Hurricane Florence - Horry County Response
Horry County, SC| September 2018
Hurricane Florence continued to affect the Carolinas long after the initial event with widespread flooding and rising rivers. Flood waters washed away streets, destroyed homes and inundated entire towns. Many families were only able to return home to assess the physical damage weeks after the hurricane.
Our team is responding in Horry County, SC. We are currently welcoming volunteers through December 15th.
Hurricane Harvey - Texas Rebuild
Wharton County, TX | August 2018
Ten months after Hurricane Harvey hit there is still much need for assistance in Texas. We have transitioned from the initial response into the rebuild phase and hope to ensure that many more displaced families are assisted back into their homes. We aim to extend our scope of work to communities outside of the Houston area, who may have been overlooked until now. We are welcoming volunteers at the end of the summer to assist in our Texas Rebuild efforts.
Hurricane Maria - Puerto Rico Rebuild
Greater San Juan Area, Puerto Rico| February 2018
Following the devastation caused by Hurricane Maria, NECHAMA has launched it’s first ever Program outside the continental United States. We are currently accepting volunteers through the end of this year.
