Volunteer Ministers at Work in Houston
Over 87,000 Scientology Volunteer Ministers worldwide work directly with community leaders, officials, support personnel and citizens to bring order and real help in the face of disaster. The demand for help has never been greater.
Scientology Volunteer Ministers are among the first to arrive when disaster strikes. Trained to respond to emergency situations, they provide whatever is needed to immediately alleviate suffering and bring order quickly. And because the technology they apply is simple and effective, they quickly train others so they too can provide help.
In the last year alone the Scientology Volunteer Ministers have given real help to 1.6 million people from all walks of life and in 114 countries. That is why Scientology Volunteer Ministers live by the motto:
Something Can Be Done About It.
Houston Volunteer Ministers in Action
In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Houston Volunteer Ministers joined an unprecedented coalition of local, state and federal agencies and other volunteer organizations “to provide temporary shelter, social services and relocation options” for the citizens in need of care. In less than a day a city was created offering shelter, health care, child care, housing assistance, travel vouchers, employment services and more.
Houston Volunteer Ministers worked tirelessly to assist the more than 27,000 people temporarily housed in Houston Astrodome. Coordinating actvities with other community volunteer organizations, our Volunteer Ministers managed water distribution, assisted with clothing and personal items distribution, assisted families trying to find lost relatives, collected donations for child care, and offered counsel and comfort to the 27,000 people in the shelter.
