Thank you for making 2021 a hope-filled year for thousands of disaster survivors.
In Matthew 5:16, the word of God tells us, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” On average, every five days, someone in the Greater Austin area suffers a disaster affecting their home or apartment. With your support, whether through volunteering or becoming a financial partner, ADRN can help each of these families and provide for their short and long-term needs.
