In 1967, a small group of Texas Southern Baptist volunteers helped victims of [[Hurricane Beulah]] by serving hot food cooked on small "buddy burners". In 2005, volunteers responded to 166 named disasters, prepared 17,124,738 meals, repaired 7,246 homes, and removed debris from 13,986 yards.<ref>{{Citation | title = CBADR | url = http://cbadr.net/index.cfm/pageid/NewsE68324/articleaction/view/articleid/NAMBF58765/ | access-date = 2010-03-20 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20131105130803/http://cbadr.net/index.cfm/pageid/NewsE68324/articleaction/view/articleid/NAMBF58765/ | archive-date = November 5, 2013 }}.</ref> Southern Baptist Disaster Relief provides many different types: food, water, child care, communication, showers, laundry, repairs, rebuilding, or other essential tangible items that contribute to the resumption of life following the crisis—and the message of the Gospel.
