Our Three-Phase Approach
Relief, Resiliency, and Revival
Relief: We start by understanding immediate and long-term priorities. By listening closely to local organizations, we deliver exactly what communities truly need in the wake of disaster.
Visit our Relief Partners:
Resiliency: After initial relief, we transform community hubs—like churches—into self-sustaining Resilience Hubs with solar + storage microgrids. This ensures reliable, sustainable power and communication when it matters most.

Revival: Beyond relief and resiliency, we remain engaged. We offer courses, retreats, events, environmental restoration, and skilled trades training to help communities rebuild capacity, renew hope, and rediscover their potential.

Insights From the Front Lines
Ovanova Gives Director, Xena, returned to Avery County, NC—her hometown—after Hurricane Helene. Working side by side with local groups for nearly three months, she learned what truly helps communities move forward.
Key Insight: Sometimes, well-intentioned donations don’t match on-the-ground realities. After Helene, an oversupply of clothing filled storage spaces, creating challenges instead of easing burdens.
Powering Essential Connections
Solar + Storage Microgrids for Reliable Power
1
The Challenge:
When disaster strikes, communication lines fail if the power is out. Without communication, it’s nearly impossible to align the right resources at the right time.
2
The Solution:
By equipping community centers with solar + storage microgrids, we ensure stable, reliable electricity. These hubs become places where communication can be quickly restored, and sensitive electronics are protected.
3
The Result:
Churches and other community sites become Resilience Hubs—powered anchors that support their neighbors through any crisis.
