Join Team Leader Bill Sorem, Parish Disaster Response Coordinator, Apostles Anglican, Houston, TX, as we serve the survivors of Rolling Fork's March 24, 2023 tornado. Our partner strives to bless former renters with home ownership through their innovative non-profit made of local churches, businesses, and individuals.

Rolling Fork Rising is a local nonprofit organized by local churches, businesses, and other community leaders with a vision to help rebuild homes in Rolling Fork. Approximately 68% of the residents of Rolling Fork (before the tornado of 3/24/23) were renters. The goal is to give renters the opportunity to return to the City of Rolling Fork as homeowners, managing their monthly mortgage payment, taxes, and insurance costs to be approximately the same as they were paying for rent prior to the tornado. This can only be achieved with volunteer labor.

Rolling Fork Rising owns 17 lots and 18 acres in the city limits of Rolling Fork. There are two completed homes, one under construction and two foundations poured ready for volunteers!
