Agency Name:

NECHAMA Jewish Response to Disaster

Description:

NECHAMA is a volunteer-driven nonprofit organization headquartered in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. We provide natural disaster response and rebuild efforts to affected communities.
Following floods and hurricane, and wind events, NECHAMA helps out in a variety of ways including mucking out homes - removing debris, damaged goods, and sediment, gutting homes down to the studs to prepare them for a rebuild, and deploying skilled chainsaw teams to remove downed trees and other dislodged debris. We also may provide rebuild assistance. This includes services such as installing drywall, insulation, and other minor repairs.

Mission Statement:

NECHAMA leads volunteers in disaster relief work, building community with kindness and compassion. We are guided by the Jewish values of Tikkun Olam, repairing the world, performing good acts, and helping the stranger. We offer a helping hand in the spirit of goodwill and creating mutual respect and understanding among people.
