In 2024 alone, nearly 6,000 volunteer greyshirts completed 98 operations across 272 communities in the u.s. From january to december, we impacted more than 3 million people through our disaster response and humanitarian aid operations, including those affected by historic storms in california, hurricane helene in the u.s. Southeast, and devastating flooding in new mexico. Our veteran-led humanitarian volunteer base continues to deliver critical response services to those impacted by disasters. In 2024, greyshirts donated 284,485 volunteer hours and delivered $11,149,821 of volunteer labor to communities large and small.”

“Resiliency: beyond disaster response and recovery, team rubicon invests in our volunteers and communities through disaster training, education, and relevant courses. In 2024, team rubicon trained 9,475 individuals through in-person and online courses, creating more deployable and highly skilled greyshirts. With teams located across the u.s., team rubicon is able to quickly provide relief, regardless of location or scale of a disaster. This focus on city-level recruitment has the added benefit of increasing the resiliency of local communities, creating a framework for team rubicon members, their families, and neighbors to prepare and respond to disasters together. The ability to continue to serve alongside like-minded individuals has substantial impact on team rubicon's veteran and civilian members alike. Whether it's because of the training they get before and during operations or the chance to serve again, our volunteers give team rubicon a 96% client satisfaction score. Team rubicon's commitment to financial and operational transparency also continues, with the organization receiving positive recognition again from charity watch groups, including a platinum rating from guidestar and a four-star rating from charity navigator.”

“Rebuild: team rubicon supports communities in all phases of the disaster cycle including after the initial damagewhen the recovery process begins. Through our long-term recovery services, we reach beyond the immediate response phase of the disaster cycle and into the recovery phase to get homeowners back into their homes as quickly as possible. We rebuild homes for some of the most at-risk families with the fewest resources to recover for themselves in the most disaster-prone parts of the u.s, at no cost to the homeowner and utilizing resilient building methods wherever possible. Our long-term recovery work means we're a continued presence in affected areas for months or even years after a disaster. In 2024, team rubicon 16 homes were rebuilt by team rubicon and local contractors, serving 16 individuals in six communities.”
