Each location is evidence of a response that moved from urgent relief into long-term recovery with local leaders.
New Orleans
CompleteResponse completed · 2005 – 2023
Partners since 2006
Hurricane Ida ravaged New Orleans, leaving towns flooded and roads like rivers. Adventures Relief mobilized quickly, partnering with local churches to provide food, water, and supplies. We restored power, cleared debris, and ensured safety. This disaster recalls our response to Hurricane Katrina, when we sent 4,000 volunteers to gut houses as a first step in rebuilding. Our work with Holly Grove ministry partners since 2006 has had a significant impact.
Now, our Holly Grove partners continue reaching hundreds of kids and families. Response teams can assist with VBS camps, disaster relief projects, homeless ministry, and prayer walks. One unique ministry offers business opportunities for those recovering from substance abuse and prostitution, providing employment and life skills. Join us in New Orleans to help make a lasting impact!

2 years on the ground
In the wake of Hurricane Helene's devastating impact on Western North Carolina in September 2024, Adventures Relief is dedicated to a two-year recovery plan focused on restoring hope and rebuilding lives in the hardest-hit communities of Old Fort, Swannanoa, and Black Mountain. To support ongoing efforts, we are establishing housing for 100 volunteers to ensure they can effectively contribute to the recovery work. By partnering closely with local leaders, we aim to address the specific needs of these communities and create a tailored approach to restoration. Additionally, we are mobilizing resources to repair and restore single-family homes throughout the Swannanoa Valley, fostering a holistic recovery effort. Together, we can bring hope and healing to those in need.
