Responding quickly in times of crisis, Operation Blessing volunteers are there for the suffering when disasters strike the United States. As an OB volunteer, you’ll have the opportunity to bless those facing devastation and loss.

When you volunteer with Operation Blessing for disaster relief, you’ll enjoy free food, as well as all the tools, supplies and first-class volunteer coordination that you need to make the most of your time on the ground.

We also offer opportunities for volunteer food packing and distribution. In addition, we welcome all digital volunteers who would like to spread the word about blessing the poor and hurting in partnership with Operation Blessing!

Volunteer

“It’s what we’re called to do ever since we gave our lives to Christ… We know that when people are in need, Christ calls us to help.” – Randy, OB volunteer

“It’s pretty amazing. I can’t really put a feeling into it. You just have to come and experience it… There’s so much love here. It’s just a blessing.” – Amy, OB volunteer

“We are being the hands and feet of Christ.” – Craig, OB volunteer

Join а Volunteer Team

Operation Blessing volunteer teams are made up of “on-call” volunteers with both general and specialized skills who join our relief staff in the field during times of disaster. Visit ob.org/next to learn more about our current volunteer opportunities and to hear what it’s like to serve with Operation Blessing.
Construction

Construction Teams consist of licensed trades such as plumbing, electrical, HVAC, general contractors, carpenters, structural engineers, architects and roofers, as well as those experienced in flooring such as carpet, vinyl, tile and wood. These team members are often called on during the rebuilding and recovery stage of disasters
Heavy Equipment

In the aftermath of hurricanes, floods and tornadoes, heavy equipment teams are often needed to remove large amounts of debris to assist neighborhoods in the clean-up efforts and prepare them for the process of rebuilding. Team members bring experience in operating equipment such as skid-steers, cranes, loaders and more.
General Volunteer

Our General Volunteer Teams consist of individuals who may not have a specialized skill but would still like to serve during times of disaster. These team members will help with general labor such as gutting homes, site assessments, clean-up and more.
Disaster Relief Volunteers

You have a heart to serve and Operation Blessing takes care of the details so that you can show God’s love to those in the midst of crisis. When major hurricanes, tornadoes and other devastating storms strike the U.S., volunteers become a key component of Operation Blessing’s disaster relief efforts. From serving hot meals and handing out bags of relief to helping residents salvage precious belongings and aiding in debris removal and cleanup, OB volunteers are critical to bringing relief in real time!

Food and Packing Volunteers

Operation Blessing is looking for Food Team members with experience in food management and service at all levels. Our mobile-kitchens are fully equipped, stocked and ready to provide at least 1,000 meals per day, helping to feed local emergency management conducting search and recovery, families and individuals without power and other resources, and also volunteers and clean-up crews. These opportunities arise primarily in the Hampton Roads area. Contact us for possible volunteer roles through our partner outreaches in other cities. Sign up for alerts.
