In 2024 a volunteer team worked on homes destroyed by tornadoes in Madisonville, Kentucky and in 2025 on homes damaged by Hurricane Helene in Burnsville, North Carolina. In 2026, our volunteer team will return to Burnsville to continue restoring homes in Burnsville.

Livingston County CARES volunteers have the opportunity to participate in our 43nd trip to Biloxi, Mississippi. These trips began in 2005 in response to Hurricane Katrina, and volunteers from SUNY Geneseo and the wider community have built strong relationships with the local community. This trip will involve work with the Back Bay Mission, a local agency that serves the Biloxi community with emergency assistance, with an overarching focus on improving lives through education and empowerment. Participants on this year’s program will have the opportunity to assist with Back Bay Mission’s housing rehabilitation outreach, food pantry, and meal assistance program. This is an excellent opportunity for cross-generation learning and growth through service to others.
