Volunteer and Change the World!

BonaResponds is a service organization that began after Hurricane Katrina. Since then, the group has provided disaster response in multiple states as well as many, many projects to help those in need, including over 300 wheelchair ramps.

We frequently work with our sister organization, PositiveRipples, on international work including donations for Ukrainian refugees in Moldova, education, water, poverty, and disaster relief in Haiti and Sierre Leone, and other projects on an ad hoc basis. Over 3,000 trees have been planted over the last year to help sequester carbon, provide jobs, and increase biodiversity in Haiti and Sierre Leone.

Looking for ways to work with BonaResponds or follow our projects, including projects with Positive Ripples? Volunteering, donating, and spreading the word about our projects helps tremendously. Check out our Facebook page and sign up for our What's App group here.
