Hancock Survival Games

Imagine a mash-up of Guy’s Grocery Games and Hunger Games!

How will your team do against the others? And against the panel of judges?

Your family’s well-being (survival) may depend on being able to quickly grab everything you need for a week. What might you forget if you had 10 minutes to evacuate your home? If you were trapped in your safe space at home, could you last until help arrived?

Thousands of families in Palestine OH, southern California and Georgia faced that real-life test.

If you are not part of EMA or Hancock COAD, feel free to come check us out.

Warming Center Update

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.

After getting a late start compared to past years due to warmer than normal November, we have been open 20 nights already. We have hosted 22 different guests, averaging 8+ per night. We had a high of 14 guests. There have been 57 different volunteers that have made this possible.

If the 45-day forecast holds, we will need to open every night for the entire month of January and into February. In past years we have opened a total of around 50 nights ALL SEASON!  

It takes a minimum of 8 volunteers each night. Please consider joining our group. You would be with someone who has served before at the beginning. 

If you have any questions feel free to contact us here or through our facebook page.
