Hurricane Harvey Relief, Texas

When Hurricane Harvey hit land in Texas on August 25, Saddleback Church immediately responded. We sent a team to the most impacted areas to work with churches and assess the greatest needs in the recovery process. As a result, 78 pallets of donated goods including blankets, medicine, and food were collected and packaged by over 1,800 Saddleback members. Items were shipped to local churches throughout the Houston area to be directly given to displaced families in need. Our volunteers are still serving in countless ways, doing everything from tearing out drywall to ministering to broken hearts. Already roofs have been repaired, carpets torn out, and cars literally dug out of the mud. To date, Saddleback has partnered with over 200 churches throughout Texas to restore hope and healing to a devastated land.

On September 18, Pastor Rick and a group of pastors and leaders from Saddleback held a Pastor’s Gathering in Houston and Beaumont, Texas. Hundreds of pastors from across the state came together to stand with churches as they offer support and encouragement through the recovery process. As a result, 200 churches committed to partnering together on the long journey toward healing.
