Watch: who we are and how we respond

Why give to VER

Ready before the next call.

Campaigns respond to one need. Your monthly gift keeps VER ready for all of them.

  1. Readiness

    Funds are in place before the next disaster strikes, before any campaign exists.

  2. Continuity

    Your gift covers logistics, field teams and rebuilding long after the headlines fade.

  3. Focus

    We direct resources where the impact is greatest right now.

Who we are

Born in the storm.

In September 2017, in the middle of the Atlantic hurricane season, Fred Martins and Gustavo Couto founded Volunteer Emergency Relief. Two days before Hurricane Irma hit Florida, they rented a truck so they would be ready to help.

That first response became VER: a Christian nonprofit that mobilizes people, churches and organizations to bring relief, rebuild homes and serve communities in need.

Our mission

To equip leaders, empower organizations, and mobilize people to create lasting impact in communities, cities, and nations.

  • Knowing God
  • Loving People
  • Impacting the World
