Mission

4B DISASTER RESPONSE NETWORK EXISTS TO MOBILIZE A NETWORK OF CHURCHES TO REFLECT THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST BY SERVING PEOPLE AFFECTED BY DISASTERS WITHIN OUR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA.

  • OVER SIX YEARS AGO, HURRICANE HARVEY DEVASTATED THE GREATER HOUSTON/GALVESTON AREA WITH A RECORDED 53 INCHES OF RAIN IN A FOUR-DAY PERIOD. MUCH OF WHAT WE CALL THE 4B AREA (FROM THE BELTWAY SOUTH TO THE BEACHES OF GALVESTON, FROM THE BAY WEST TO THE BORDER WITH BRAZORIA COUNTY) WAS IMPACTED. SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN LATE 2017, THE 4B DRN HAS SERVED IN OVER 1,800 HOMES, PROVIDING A VARIETY OF RECOVERY SERVICES. IN MID-2018, WE TURNED OUR ATTENTION TO FIVE SPECIFIC TYPES OF FAMILIES: SINGLE MOMS, SENIOR ADULTS, WIDOWS, THOSE WITH DISABILITIES AND VETERANS. THESE FAMILIES SEEMED TO BE STRUGGLING THE MOST TO RESTORE THEIR HOMES, SO WE MADE THE COMMITMENT TO BRING THEIR HOMES BACK TO A PRE-HARVEY CONDITION. BY THE CLOSE OF 2023, WE HAD TOTALLY REBUILT 504 HOMES AT NO COST TO THE HOMEOWNER. WE REMAIN A "VOLUNTEER DRIVEN ORGANIZATION WITH NO FULL-TIME EMPLOYEES. OVER 20,000 VOLUNTEERS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THE SUCCESS OF THE WORK OF THE 4B DRN SINCE 2017.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
