Throughout the first few months of 2023, thousands across the United States have been affected by extreme weather events—with tornadoes in the MidWest and South, as well as flooding in California leaving many without their homes, livelihoods and possessions.

Our partners are uniquely positioned to help immediately after a disaster occurs. For example, Global Empowerment Mission’s new West Coast facility was able to quickly assist the communities affected in Northern California, while directly after the first tornado hit in March, GEM BStrong deployed to Mississippi to begin distributing Family Necessity Kits - which include DripDrop, pet supplies, and other BStrong cash cards. They have committed over $1M in aid to help those affected.
