Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide disaster relief services to those impacted by storms.

What it reported doing in 2025

We respond to natural disasters throughout the southeastern united states. These include hurricanes, tornadoes, and other storms. We provide tree removal services for no charge, seeking out the low-income population and focus on those who have no other means to pay for these services. These services include technical tree removal and debris cleanup. We also provide training to our local community to help them be better prepared to respond to natural disasters.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
