Bringing Hope Building Resiliency
Headwaters seeks to inspire passion to serve others. We forge connections between those who are being served, the Headwaters team and the community at large. We work to ensure that every volunteer, regardless of age, background, skills, or experience, feels valued and motivated to continue to serve others.
Headwaters Relief Organization’s 6th Annual Mardi Gras Gala
Join us on February 22, 2025, for an unforgettable evening celebrating community, resilience, and the vibrant spirit of volunteerism.
As we mark our 6th year of hosting this cherished tradition, we honor our connection to New Orleans, where our journey of service began. This gala is not just an event but a heartfelt celebration of the incredible memories we’ve created over the years.
We gather to thank our dedicated volunteers, generous sponsors, and beloved friends and family who have supported our mission every step of the way. Together, we’ve made a meaningful impact, offering hope and assistance to those in need during times of disaster and recovery.
Let’s celebrate our shared accomplishments, enjoy an evening of fun, and continue to build a future of compassion and support.
Save the date, and we can’t wait to see you there!
Grassroots to Global Impact
Headwaters Relief Organization grew out of a grassroots response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Since then we
have evolved and diversified. Our early efforts included assisting with clean-up and re-building of homes locally and nationally. Today our services have expanded to include public health, education, psychosocial and medical support and international responses.
Working Alongside Communities to Rebuild and Recover
Public Health
Headwaters Relief Organization contributes to addressing public health issues for the most needy and underserved populations of the world. Our teams of volunteers include experts in public health. medical care, psychosocial support, re-building and engineering. We respond to immediate needs as well as provide long term support.
Medical Support
Headwaters is committed to helping people access medical care. Whether educating people in disease prevention or public health awareness, our team is here to help. Our volunteers have worked with us to provide free clinics in Haiti, Greece and Nepal. Our agile team is dedicated to helping people improve the health of their communities following a disaster.
Education
In all of our work, Headwaters is culturally sensitive to each country’s values and beliefs. We have developed respectful strategies that allow us to provide education and support, enabling communities to build capacity through training of community members. Training is focused not only on disaster response, but on the development of techniques that are specific to developing resiliency.
Building Stronger Communities, Building Resilience Together
Headwaters volunteers have provided disaster relief across Minnesota, throughout the United States and around the world including the Philippines, Haiti, Greece, Liberia, and many other places affected by disaster.
Let’s Do This Together
Volunteer With Us

As a grassroots disaster relief organization, Headwaters welcomes people with a variety of backgrounds and experiences to be a part of our team.
Donate
Disaster victims have varying degrees of options for self-recovery. Those with the fewest resources are often left without the emotional and physical means to rebuild and restart their lives. Financial contributions enable the most vulnerable victims of natural disasters to rebuild their lives — from purchasing supplies for schools in Haiti to creating a book to help the children of the Philippines understand their feelings.
