Hope Crisis Response Network is providing volunteer clean up help for those who suffered damage during the storms which swept across Indiana on Wednesday.  HCRN staff was one of the first crews on the scene after the storm, checking on the welfare of local families.  Our staff worked Wednesday night and Thursday conducting damage assessments in the area and helping families affected by the storm. HCRN Founder Kevin Cox said, "We are providing assistance to homeowners without adequate insurance coverage, including elderly and disabled individuals."  

     Storm damage includes:  Destroyed barns, roof damage due to wind and downed trees and a tremendous amount of damaged trees and limbs.  If you need assistance with clearing your home of debris, you can call our offices at 1-888-909-4276 or e-mail us at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it

     Homeowners should also be wary of tree trimming companies and home repair contractors.

     HCRN provides assistance to individuals and families who are

recovering from disaster.  As a non-profit organization, our budget is filled

through financial gifts from individuals, businesses, churches and grant-makers

who share our vision for bringing hope in times of great need. 

The sluggish economy has made fund-raising even more challenging. 

But HCRN is excited to share with you a simple, no-cost way for you

to support our work and help raise the dollars necessary to continue

our disaster work.
