Volunteers Needed in Savannah, GA
/
Dear Friends,
In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Inspiritus was invited by local officials in Savannah, GA to step in where recovery resources were scarce or unavailable. With few, if any, long-term recovery organizations on the ground, Inspiritus has been filling a critical gap—bringing not only our expertise, but a deep commitment to community-led recovery.
Since launching our response in August 2024, Inspiritus volunteers have contributed nearly 3,000 hours of service and completed over 327 home cleanups, offering hope and tangible help to households facing unimaginable hardship.
Yet the need remains urgent. Many families in Savannah are still living in unsafe, storm-damaged homes. Roofs are leaking. Mold is spreading. Essential systems—plumbing, electricity, structural foundations—have been compromised. Most of these residents are low-income homeowners without insurance or access to other recovery resources.
That’s why we’re launching a Long-Term Recovery project in Savannah—and we need your help.
We’re looking for compassionate volunteers to join us on the ground as we provide critical home repairs, at no cost to the homeowner. These services include:
Debris Removal
Mold Remediation
Accessibility Modifications for Elderly & Disabled Residents
Flooring & Drywall Installation
Painting Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinetry
Inspiritus has established a volunteer base at Garden City United Methodist Church, with housing available for daily and overnight volunteers.
Whether you have professional construction skills or simply want to lend a hand, there’s a place for you on our team!
Thank you for your continued support as we work hand in hand with local communities, partners, and volunteers to provide vital assistance to those affected. Your generosity and compassion makes all the difference.
Sincerely,
Virginia Spencer
Chief Development Officer
Inspiritus
