OUR PROJECTS
Help Us Build the Future: The DRC (DISASTER RESOURCE CENTER)
At 72: The Mission, we believe in action. Our mission has always been to serve communities in crisis, provide relief in disaster-stricken areas, and stand in the gap for those in need. Now, we are taking a bold step forward to establish something that will leave a lasting impact—
We are in the process of purchasing a warehouse that will serve as the foundation for this vision. This facility, located in Northeast Tennessee, will become a hub for disaster preparedness, emergency response training, and community outreach. We will train individuals, first responders, and volunteers in vital skills such as search and rescue, survival preparedness, crisis communication, and disaster recovery efforts.
Why This Matters
Every year, thousands of families are displaced and communities are devastated by disasters—floods, storms, fires, and emergencies that strike without warning. Many times, communities lack the knowledge, resources, and infrastructure to respond effectively. The REC will change that.
With this facility, we will:
✅ Train and equip volunteers and emergency responders to act quickly and efficiently in crisis situations.
✅ Store and distribute emergency supplies to help communities in times of disaster.
✅ Offer educational programs that teach individuals and organizations how to be prepared.
✅ Provide a space for faith-based and community-driven initiatives to bring real hope and help.
The Building & The Challenge
The warehouse we have identified is an ideal space to launch this initiative. However, to secure this property and transform it into a fully operational center, we need your help.
🛠️ Renovation & Repairs: Estimated at $300,000 - $350,000
💰 Total Goal: $650,000
We are seeking grants, partnerships, and community support, but we cannot do this alone.

1️⃣ Donate: Every dollar brings us closer to opening the doors of The DRC.
