The Churches of Scientology Disaster Response is now active alongside
volunteers from churches, neighborhood groups and community organizations to
provide help and relief to those affected by the Waverly flood that killed 20
people and destroyed more than 240 homes. Scientology Volunteer Ministers who arrived on the scene described
how “…the rains have now been replaced by 90-degree
weather as crews work in the heat to remove debris and clean up decimated
sites.” Dozens of emergency crews, relief agencies and food trucks were assembled
throughout the area to organize and serve volunteers and victims.  Compassion
Church in Waverly, Tenn., has become a hub for volunteer activity with an abundance
of food and supplies, but still needs extra hands to help distribute to those
in need. The Scientology Volunteer Ministers were among those able to get right
to work, distributing food and supplies to residents who lived near Trace Creek.
 The
Church of Scientology Volunteers Minister program is a religious social service
created in the mid-1970s by Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard. Anyone of any
culture or creed may train as a Volunteer Minister and use these tools to help
their families and communities. The Church provides free online training on the
Volunteer Ministers website. 















The Volunteer Minister program was expressly intended
for use by Scientologists and non- Scientologists alike. Transcending all
ethnic, cultural and religious boundaries, the Volunteer Ministers program is
there for anyone in need of help. Volunteer Minister training is available free
of charge through the Scientology Volunteer Minister website to anyone who
wishes to help others, at www.volunteerministers.org.
