Overview

Mission

To effectively respond to the rescue, relief, and rebuilding needs of the Virgin Islands, and focus on building a sustainable infrastructure for the future.

What it reported doing in 2022

To aid and assist with the immediate relief and extraction of injured residents of the Virgin Islands following natural disaster. After the damage was assessed by our teams of first responders, we facilitated the evacuation of the critically injured and people in need, a number which grows daily. Processed, cataloged and moved over 400,000 pounds of donated relief supplies to be distributed by our organization and contacts on the ground in the United States Virgin Islands and the British Virgin Islands. Using our resources to assist in air and sea transportation, delivering the most needed supplies for relief efforts in a timely manner greatly increases the production and forward progress of cleaning and starting to rebuild the islands.
