Eight Days of Hope

Eight Days of Hope LogoEight Days of Hope is a ministry that responds to natural disasters by organizing volunteers to be “the hands and feet of Jesus” to those in need.  They are an evangelistic ministry that encourages those with skills as well as those without skills to volunteer to rebuild homes and churches after a natural disaster.

This organization provides free food and lodging for volunteers so that they can respond to natural disasters in the United States and help people rebuild their lives.  They also provide building materials.  When you give to Eight Days of Hope, you can give for specific items such as a new roof, re-wiring or drywall installation.

Don’t forget that you don’t need to give money.  If you have any kind of skill, or just wish to use your vacation in order to help, you can sign up for their next project.
