About VIND

Who we are: 
VIND is a coalition of faith-based organizations, partnered with allied agencies and each other, that promotes networking to prepare Volusia County, FL communities for the effects of disaster, and in the aftermath, facilitates spiritual and long-term practical aid. VIND's​ purpose in uniting interfaith organizations, agencies, businesses, and individuals is to minimize duplication of services and utilize resources combined with a spirit of community volunteerism to most effectively serve Volusia County.

​What we do: 
On a regular basis, we bring together existing inter-faith organizations, religious leaders,  non-profits, emergency management and government agencies, community businesses and volunteers to share in the responsibilities of assisting those who have lost shelter, food, clothing and accessibility as a result of various types of disasters. 
  • use skilled volunteers to repair structural damages to homes​
  • remove dangerous obstacles that makes it unsafe for residents to return to their   dwelling
  • work with our partners to provide emergency shelter, food and necessities to many
  • with compassionate hearts, we provide caring hands ready to help, and open ears willing to listen and make suggestions
  • so much more

​The Cost: knowing that many do not have insurance to cover damages, and that disasters create injury, lost of  jobs, income and property, our services are given at no cost to the client.
 

Case Management:
VIND uses case managers to assist those needing assistance as a result of a disaster.  Our case managers develop and help implement a recovery plan based on the resources available.  They match resources with needs, and will come to your location when help is requested.
