Our Response
Coordinating Volunteers to Support Tornado Recovery in Faulkner County
Initially, we worked in small teams, alongside various organizations to help those who needed it most. However, we quickly realized that the best way for us to assist the people of Arkansas was to organize all of the spontaneous volunteers who wanted to help. We partnered with Team Rubicon, Arkansas Dream Center and the local community to coordinate thousands of volunteers in four VRCs (Volunteer Reception Centers) around the Mayflower, Vilonia and Conway communities in Faulkner county.
