allhandsandhearts #DART UPDATE: Following our new deployment plan, which includes COVID-19 safety measures, our team is building a work queue to provide immediate assistance to those who need it most in Newton County, TX and nearby areas. We’re preparing to set up a base of operations in DeQuincy, Louisiana to be in the best position to assist the most-impacted areas in Louisiana. Moving forward, we are looking to partner with a number of organizations, among them the Veterans Community Response, who specialize in chainsaw work, and AmeriCorps NCCC.

allhandsandhearts "It only took that first experience of volunteering in my home country to stir me into adopting a lifelong service mentality. I’ve learned to ask, “can I help you?” whenever I can and the result has been life-changing. It has humbled me, given me opportunities to grow and improved my relationships." - Alexa Balbuena, Volunteer Read more of the life lessons Alexa carries with her after serving with All Hands and Hearts at the link in our bio.

allhandsandhearts "It's been a while...we're still in pain but Dorian, it did something. Being able to go through that traumatic experience together, you know, it turns your friends into family." - Nadine Been, Teacher, Marsh Harbour It's been one year since Hurricane Dorian hit The Bahamas as a Category 5 storm, leaving as yet unseen damage in its wake. Known as the worst natural disaster in the island's history, the impact of Hurricane Dorian is still being felt today by recovering communities. This month, we're restarting operations with a DM12 cohort — continuing our work rebuilding schools and repairing homes in Marsh Harbour. The way this community has supported one another through this experience is nothing short of incredible. We can't wait to get back to doing our part to build further capacity within the community and grow their resilience to future storms.

allhandsandhearts Hurricane Laura has tied for the strongest landfalling hurricane in Louisiana on record. While Lake Charles and the surrounding areas are the epicenter of the impact, damage from the storm spans a large area of Louisiana and Southeast Texas. There doesn’t seem to be a building left untouched by Laura’s fierce winds. Our Disaster Assessment and Response Team (DART) has been conducting on-the-ground assessments. This week, as we meet with community members and partners to better understand the full impact of the disaster, we will work to establish our base of operations. Based on the need, we anticipate initial scopes of work will include chainsaw work, debris removal and roof tarping. Stay up to date on our response efforts by checking our website.
