Join the CDRT! If you are interested in participating in the mission and work of the Presbytery of Charlotte’s Community Disaster Response Team, contact Tamara Williams tamara.williams@presbyofcharlotte.org
Formed in 1999 after Hurricane Floyd struck North Carolina, this Presbytery of Charlotte ministry has had to mature from necessity responding to 2005’s Hurricane Katrina and its challenging aftermath. Since then we’ve continued to… * sponsor and support mission trips primarily throughout North Carolina and the Southeast * supply our churches with onsite trailers for food, clothing and disaster supply collections * provide low-no cost supplies transportation for local agencies and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance

This is a great project for Church Mission Teams, Presbyterian Men/Women, Youth Groups, Boy Scouts, etc. Funding is provided by Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. Churches do not have to provide funding for the building projects, but may make a contribution if desired. Each completed building is the property of the Presbytery of Charlotte.
HERE’S HOW YOU GET STARTED: 1: Church representative contacts the Presbytery’s Community Disaster Response Team (CDRT) and expresses interest in construction 2: CDRT will meet with your church and explain the building project and what is required 3: If your church decides to take on the project, we will discuss whether you want to do a complete building with electrical and plumbing or if you want the CDRT to do electrical and plumbing installation. 4: CDRT will supply the church with all materials and plans to construct a shower building 5: The CDRT is available during construction if problems or questions come up. 6: Once the building is completed, we load it onto a trailer and put it in storage until needed at a site.
