Samaritan's Purse Deploying Disaster Response Team To 3 States After Ice Storm

Thursday, January 29, 2026

Based in Boone, North Carolina, Samaritan’s Purse responds to physical and spiritual needs of individuals in crisis situations–especially in locations where few others are working. Led by President and CEO Franklin Graham, Samaritan’s Purse works in more than 100 countries to provide aid to victims of war, disease, disaster, poverty, famine and persecution.

Samaritan’s Purse assessment teams began canvassing hard-hit areas earlier this week as conditions allowed. Now, Disaster Relief Units—tractor-trailers stocked with tools and emergency equipment—are on the way and the first volunteer teams will begin work on Friday in Oxford, Mississippi, West Monroe, Louisiana, Corinth, Mississippi, and McNairy County, Tennessee.
