Adventist Community Services Disaster Response serves victims of disaster without regard to religion, creed, race, age, or sex. ACSDR is able to serve effectively by utilizing a nationwide network of Adventist Community Services centers, more that 50 of which are located in Michigan.

Michigan ACSDR provides several services to disaster victims and their communities. 

• Chain Saw Response Team can help after major wind storms by helping cut up downed trees and remove debris.
• Mobile Kitchen Team can provide meals to victims or to disaster response personnel.
• VHF and Emergency Ham Radio Communications are supplied for the Michigan ACSDR team by a Communications Team.
• Donated goods management and distribution is provided by a team trained in warehouse management and in the reception of goods from the public and distribution of goods to the survivors of a disaster. Mobile distribution of goods is also available in Michigan.
• Donations: If you are able to give a monetary donation to help with Disaster Response deployments, please send it to Michigan Conference of SDA (5801 W Michigan Ave. Lansing, MI 48917) and mark it for Disaster Response. Thank you in advance!
