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.
US: Long-Term Emotional and Spiritual Care
Frontliners, who train with IOCC to provide emotional and spiritual care in disaster situations, are often the first teams that IOCC puts on the ground after a US storm.
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.
