The River Hurricane Emergency Depot has distributed more than 1.2 million pounds of food (including fresh fruit and vegetables from Operation Eden), water, and essential supplies.
By God's grace, we've sown over $437,000 into numerous churches and communities. Our phenomenal storm cleanup and volunteer teams have invested hundreds of hours into relief efforts throughout Arcadia, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Marco Island, Myakka City, Naples, Nocatee, and North Port, Florida.

R.M.I., the River Church, and the River Hurricane Emergency Depot are on the frontlines of providing recovery efforts from Hurricane Ian. We’ve sent $348,000 to churches in need along with storm cleanup teams, truck loads of food, water, fresh vegetables, and by this weekend we will have moved 1 million pounds of essentials. We are committed to doing all we can to help our brothers and sisters during this time, and thank all of you who’ve stood with us as we help many people restart their lives.
Thank you for opening your hearts of compassion to help the hurting at this time of devastation. Please watch the Emergency Hurricane Relief Broadcast for relief footage of all we’re doing to demonstrate God’s love and power.

We didn't have trucks available, but we had drivers. We just went and hired trucks to make the run south to the areas affected by Hurricane Ian. The trucks come in with essentials, and we unload them at the River Hurricane Emergency Depot. Then we load trucks according to the needs. They run south loaded, unload, run back to RMI, and load up again.
Thank you to all the River Church volunteers for helping serve those who have been devastated by the storm. Thank you to everyone supporting this great effort. We love you and pray God's abundant blessings upon you.

Our Hurricane Ian relief efforts are underway at RMI! We're loading the trucks full of water and food here at our hurricane relief distribution center. We then transport the food, water, and supplies to our secondary hubs in the areas directly affected by Hurricane Ian!
We have also sent $110,000 to churches in need. More is on the way this week! We have moved thousands of pounds already. We desperately need food, water, and essentials for individuals who have lost everything. We need generators as in many places there is no electricity. We need blankets, sheets, pillows, stretchers, folding chairs, and all basic essentials for people starting over.
If you would like to partner with us in helping with these efforts, you can visit revival.com, click Invest Now, and select "Hurricane Relief" in the drop-down menu today to sow into these efforts!
We desperately need canned goods and food that's ready to be eaten as there is nowhere to heat or boil or cook! Please open your hearts of compassion to help the hurting at this time of devastation.
Thank you to God's Pit Crew, Feed the Hungry, Judah1, and CTN for helping us help the hurting. We will get a full list of all those sending food, and we will be acknowledging them this week. Also to our very own Operation Eden, as we have been able to send fruit and vegetables to the hurting.

Over the past few days, Pastor Rodney and the team have traveled up and down the Florida coast to assess the damage from Hurricane Ian.
RMI & The River at Tampa Bay Church have had the privilege of assembling teams to help bring relief (food, supplies, fuel, etc.) to different areas that were directly affected.
