D.A.R.T.

The Fuller Center's D.A.R.T. (Disaster Assistance Response Team) program mobilizes a robust volunteer brigade in response to disasters like hurricanes Ida and Sandy. We work day and night to rebuild after floods and act quickly in response to devastating comunity events like house fires. We help to meet basic human needs like food, temporary shelter, and clothing.
