Mennonite Disaster Service

Website: mds.org

At Mennonite Disaster Service, we respond to disasters, rebuild homes, and restore hope by organizing and empowering volunteers in the U.S. and Canada. Our vision is to be the hands and feet of Jesus to those affected by disasters. As God’s stewards, we strive to incorporate quality materials and workmanship, and environmental awareness in providing safe, affordable and sustainable housing. One of the mottos of MDS is “We build back better,” so that reconstructed homes are better able to withstand disasters in the future, and are more cost- and environmentally-efficient for the homeowner.
