Immediate Response & Relief Efforts

Without hesitation, the Osceola Response Team hit the ground running, responding the same day and continuing into the next to provide help where it was needed most. Their team of dedicated volunteers brought:

✅ Storm Truck & emergency response teams

✅ Food supplies for families in need

✅ Rescue equipment to assist with cleanup and recovery

✅ Hands-on support clearing debris and assessing damage

Richard Herr, Executive Director of the Osceola Response Team, and his incredible group of volunteers have been working around the clock, ensuring help reaches those who need it most.

More Than Just Disaster Relief
