Impact Stories

January 2025 California Wildfire relief

100,000 lbs of emergency supplies distributed in CA for Families impacted by wildfire

Serve With Us
California Wildfire

ROA in Partnership with @SoCalUPCI has held several distribution efforts for those impacted by the California Wildfires.

It all begins with a Parner.

Our partners, whether pastors or business owners, call together local volunteers, who partner with us and provide structure, local knowledge, relationships that we guide and supply with product through our corporate partnerships to provide resources in a disaster.

Excellent Volunteers

Some take a day or week off to help their neighbors and neighborhoods, volunteering their time and energy to provide hope and resources to damaged lives around them, sometimes even while their own homes have been damaged. Putting others’ needs first reflects their desire to follow Christ.

“We had the misfortune of Lady Hurricane Laura coming to visit us, and just before that, our Bishop and Senior Pastor came down with COVID-19. Many of our men worked right after the hurricane, so our church ladies began an extensive demolition project. Our roof had been demolished, and water damage had ruined our church. Reach Out America reached out to us. They have given us financial resources, visited us on-site, and brought us hope. Their staff and resources saved us in a time of need. They even brought us Starbucks as we worked in the 100-degree Louisiana heat! We are forever grateful to ROA!”
