Nomads On a Mission Active in Divine Service
We have been active NOMADS for over 2 years and although it is associated with the Methodist church they do not provide funding to run the organization and members come from many denominations. There are over 1000 members nation wide, in 2013 these are the statistics:
3-week Projects: 132 projects in 27 states
Disaster Rebuilding: several long term efforts, in Cordova and
Haleyville, Alabama, in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, in Minot,
North Dakota, and in Bastrop, Texas.
Drop-in projects: 44+ agencies helped, with 8244+ hours donated
Members: 1022 members (approximately 557 households/RV’s) who
reside in 45 of our continental states, plus Alaska, Hawaii
and Canada
Hours: More than 106,500 hours donated this year, including
14,760 hours to Disaster Rebuilding
Labor Value: Over $2.35 million just this year…
And over $11 million in the past 5 years!!
Yes there is a fee to be a member, but when on a project of your choosing there are no fees for your hook ups. NOMADS have projects every month of the year and are known for being craftsman. Most regular projects are for 3 weeks, but we also have disaster recovery projects that you can volunteer from 1 week to as long as the project lasts.
It is a requirement to own an RV to become a member. We invite anyone interested in learning more to contact us.
