Virginia Baptist Disaster Relief Services

Disaster Relief is a mission effort of the Glocal Missions Team in which Virginia Baptists work to provide relief to those who find themselves victims of disasters in Virginia, the U.S., and around the world.

We work in partnership with the American Red Cross, The Salvation Army, Baptist conventions, agencies and other national and international partners to bring relief and hope to those in need.

We welcome the help of those called to serve in this ministry using their gifts and skills.
