Churches of Christ Disaster Relief Effort, Inc. immediately responds to any major disaster in the continental United States, such as floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, and fires. Run by volunteers, they contact the leadership of local Churches of Christ in or near a major disaster area, then send and turn over to local congregations truckloads of emergency food, personal hygiene, infant care, water, cleaning supplies, and pallets of additional basic needs, for them to distribute to the disaster victims. These supplies are to be given to anyone affected by the disaster, regardless of race, creed, origin, gender, or religious preference. The Nikiski church of Christ donates regularly to the Disaster Relief Effort.
