For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve...
Mark 10:45
Global Care helps those affected by natural disasters
After the devastation caused by cyclone Debbie, extensive Disaster Relief work was carried out across the Queensland and New South Wales coastal regions Hundreds of volunteers spent several weeks working in the flood-effected areas to clean up properties, feed locals and volunteers, and assist in every way possible.
Global Care understands the immense loss and devastation that people feel following a natural disaster, which is why we help in disaster zones by lending a hand and offering hope. Whether it's providing emergency accommodation, food, furniture and basic hygiene packs; or clearing mud, cleaning walls and removing rubbish; or being a listening ear and offering support, Global Care works to rebuild lives.
Our volunteers receive training and safety briefings, prior to working for Global Care, and undergo the government required checks. They often travel interstate to help in disaster zones, and usually take annual leave from their jobs, to help those affected.
