What’s with the yellow shirts?

If you’ve ever seen a Disaster Relief team at work, you’ve probably noticed one thing pretty quickly:

We wear a LOT of yellow.

But have you ever wondered why?

The yellow shirt helps identify us as trained Disaster Relief volunteers. When we arrive in a community after a disaster, homeowners, emergency personnel and others know who we are and why we’re there.

But for us, it represents much more than that.

It represents training.
It represents teamwork.
It represents a willingness to leave home and go where we’re needed.

And most importantly, it represents an opportunity to serve people who are hurting.

When we walk into a home after a flood, tornado, hurricane or other disaster, we’re not just there to remove damaged materials, clean up debris or make repairs.

We’re there because people matter.

And because we believe the love of Christ should be more than something we talk about—it should be something we demonstrate.

The yellow shirt identifies us as Disaster Relief volunteers.

Our actions should identify us as followers of Jesus.

So when you see someone in a yellow shirt, you may just see a volunteer.

We see an opportunity.

An opportunity to serve.
An opportunity to encourage.
An opportunity to show the love of Christ.

That’s what’s with the yellow shirts.
