Will you help here in the US?

In the US, IOCC serves survivors of natural and human-caused disasters, both short term and later—from emotional and spiritual care in the early days, to cleanup and rebuilding later.

Preparing Takes Work

Through Homefront training for parishes, emotional and spiritual care from our Frontliners, and Action Team volunteers, IOCC is laying the groundwork for resilience in the face of disaster.

Are You Disaster Ready?

Flooding, fires, and storms can affect any of us, no matter where we live. And September is National Preparedness Month, so there's no time like the present.

Help for Our Neighbors in Greece

Amid extensive, catastrophic floods across Greece, IOCC invites our friends and supporters to pray for everyone affected by the recent storm named Daniel.

Overcoming Obstacles amid Upheaval

In Ukraine, IOCC is helping provide consultations with social workers, psychologists, and lawyers, and providing emergency aid like food, clothes, and medicine.

UPDATE: Hurricane Idalia

Our US Program team is monitoring developments closely and coordinating assessments with partners and Orthodox parishes across affected areas.

Praying for the US Southwest

As communities across the southwestern US face dangerous flooding in the wake of hurricanes and tropical storms, as well as an earthquake in southern California, IOCC is praying for everyone affected.
