The homeowner will act as the general contractor.

UNMET NEEDS COMMITTEE: Receives and acts on referrals from Case Management Committee. Consists of members and non-members bringing money (cash financial support), materials (donations, equipment, supplies, furniture, appliances, etc), or muscle (volunteer labor crews and expertise) to meet the needs of individuals who have been served by the case management process.

SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL CARE: Coordinates the spiritual and emotional support for survivors, caregivers, volunteers, and community. This committee also provides and marshals professionals to provide counseling to address emotional or spiritual needs of clients.

COMMUNICATIONS COMMITTEE: Coordinates the internal and external communication materials, including web and social media, liaison with the media, print, and audio as well as working with the chair of the Steering Committee to determine messages.

VOLUNTEER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE: Oversees the recruitment, coordination, training, and recognition of volunteers. Assists with the coordination of housing of the volunteers. All volunteers need to sign the Release of Liability Form.

NON-MONETARY DONATIONS COMMITTEE: Oversees warehousing, receiving, sorting and distributing non-monetary donations, such as food, tools, clothing, building materials, etc.

If you or your organization would like to donate items such as furniture, household items, used cars, shopping on Amazon for housing needs, the Donations Committee and Case Managers will work with you to match up a client who has needs.  We cannot store these items for you, but if you could keep them for the client until their homes are ready, the clients would be very appreciative.

Randolph County in east central Indiana was founded by Quaker settlers from North Carolina in 1818 with Winchester named as the county seat. Its early history is marked by an embrace of abolitionism, growth of towns with Civil War railroad expansion, and industry surrounding oil, natural gas, glass, and auto part manufacturing. In the 1900s, the county’s citizens met changing needs with educational and political leadership, producing an exemplar for rural schools across the nation and several state legislative leaders.

Heading into the 21st century, dedicated residents of Winchester, Union City, & Farmland (and other unincorporated cities/towns) have focused on historical preservation, heritage tourism, and support of the arts.
