By volunteering for a day, you are directly delivering help, hope and healing to people after disasters. Whether you're clearing debris, cleaning out a house or praying with a homeowner, you will transform a life. 
Every journey out of dark days starts with a first step. By putting together First Step Kits – hygiene kits for people in crisis – you can meet basic needs for people who don't know where to turn for help or hope. When Texans on Mission volunteers distribute First Step Kits, they provide a place for both. 
When a disaster strikes, people don't know where to turn for help. They don't know who to trust. When a Texans on Mission volunteer connects with them for the first time with a Message of Hope crafted by you, hope sprouts fresh. Find out how you can radically change a life with a simple piece of paper. 
In northern Uganda and beyond, Texans on Mission seeks to provide everyone with access to clean water and the gospel. You can make a Gold-to-Gold Gospel Bracelet to be worn to share the Gospel around the world. Perfect for your small group, Bible study or youth groups, each Gold-to-Gold Gospel Bracelet you create will share the redemption story of Jesus Christ with everyone who sees it. 
When a disaster strikes, people have often lost everything, including items they'd typically have to begin cleaning up. You can jump start the recovery process for someone by providing these items through Texans on Mission Disaster Relief. 
iHeart Media aired a 29-minute interview with TBM's Rand Jenkins for its recent Sunday Morning Magazine show, which aired on iHeart's six radio stations in Dallas-Fort Worth. iHeart sought the interview in the aftermath of the Maui wildfires and other recent disasters, but Jenkins also shared about the array of TBM ministries.
iHeart's Anna de Haro noted that TBM always seems to be on site when disasters happen. "How are you able to answer that call each and every time?"
"We have an incredible drive to be able to do what we do," said Jenkins, TBM senior director of advancement. "Thankfully, people in Texas are generous when their neighbors are in despair after a disaster. ... We can respond because we have thousands of volunteers around the state. ... We have the equipment and the training to be able to get them on site immediately."
Volunteers are trained to provide specific services, but Jenkins said the only special skill needed is a "heart to serve, and that’s all we do. It is about serving people and helping bring help, hope and healing. … There are certain things technology does wonderfully, but being with someone face-to-face after a disaster."
