1-866-484-3500 - VOLUNTEER HOTLINE - SERVEMOORE.COM

NEW VOLUNTEER PROCESS:

The City of Moore recently instituted a volunteer process, managed by ServeMoore.com, which is an open coalition of local churches and city governments. A hotline for volunteers, donations and needs is: 

1-866-484-3500 to be staffed 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm.  Note: You should always be able to speak with a live person if you call! It is completely local and well staffed. 

The City of Moore strongly suggests that, whenever possible, volunteer operations are conducted through this hotline - especially for large groups.  It is important for the city to keep track of hours volunteered, because FEMA will reimburse Moore for the dollar value of those hours. Please help us out!

Servemoore will be running
Monday - Friday  9am-6pm
Saturday  9am-8pm
Sunday  Closed

Beginning June 17:
Monday & Tuesday  9am-6pm
Wednesday  9am-1pm
Thursday  1pm-6pm
Friday & Saturday  9am-6pm
Sunday  Closed

They need hundreds of volunteers to clear up home sites, parks, and right of ways.

We need volunteers of all ages to come and volunteer a shift! 
For more info: http://servemoore.com

THE SERVEMOORE PLAN IS AS FOLLOWS:

IF YOU ARE A LOCAL VOLUNTEER OR PART OF A LOCAL GROUP THAT HAS FEWER THAN 25 PEOPLE 

and you would like to help clean up city and private property, you may head directly to Frontline Church, at 200 S. Howard Ave. You will be dispatched directly from there to a job site. 

IF YOU ARE PART OF A LOCAL VOLUNTEER GROUP 

THAT HAS 25 OR MORE PEOPLE - PLEASE CALL THE HOTLINE FIRST! 

IF YOU ARE COMING IN FROM OUT OF STATE TO VOLUNTEER

Regardless of your group size, please call 1-866-484-3500 which is the official volunteer hotline provided by the city of Moore.  You will speak to an individual who will dispatch you to where you should go to help out with the local volunteer/recovery effort.  

As for your donation items from cars (not truckloads of stuff), those can be accepted at the Destiny Christian Center, located at 3801 SE 29th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73115.  Thanks for coming to help! 

Meet them at Serve Moore HQ at 200 S. Howard Ave.  From the north take I-35 to 27th St exit, take a left on 27th and an immediate right on Broadway. Take a stroll down Broadway into Old Town. We're bussing people from HQ into the work zones.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Needed: Heavy equipment (bobcats, excavators, etc.). If you can bring those, please email info@servemoore.com with your contact info and what you can bring. Thank you.

 

Lastly, please know that we have not forgotten those communitities beyone Moore that were also damaged by the May 19/20 tornadoes, and we hope that you won't either.  The ServeMoore volunteer coordination is an effort to assist all OK communities with labor and donations, not just Moore.  Thank you for helping Oklahomans recover and return to their lives. 

 

Additional volunteer opportunities and supply needs will continue to be posted on this page; however, please use the hotline whenever possible, as it increases the monetary support that FEMA provides to Moore.  Also, please continue to direct friends and family members to also register with Moore.Recovers.org, which holds the city-wide database of volunteers, donations and needs.
