Team Rubicon Descends on Wildwood to Help Family Affected by Blizzard Jonas

WILDWOOD — Team Rubicon, a veteran-­led disaster relief organization, will be in Wildwood to conduct debris removal and helping repair the home of a disabled resident following severe flooding from Blizzard Jonas. Multiple homes were significantly damaged, and Team Rubicon was on scene to assess the damage and assist those with the greatest need.
Team Rubicon will be working on clean out and recovery of a home in Wildwood, NJ. Team Rubicon assets will work directly in concert with the local community services to provide disaster response.
Team Rubicon unites the skills and experiences of military veterans with first responders to perform these services. Beyond disaster relief, Team Rubicon helps veterans find a renewed sense of purpose—vital as many Veterans return to civilian life after more than a decade of war.

Team Rubicon operates in ten regions across the country and has responded to some of the most devastating disasters in the United States. Most recently Team Rubicon was in South Carolina to assist after severe flooding and Flint, MI to assist with the water crisis.
Members from Region 2, New York and New Jersey, will be at the event in Wildwood. Members will be available to discuss their passion to volunteer in communities and share their experiences on how Team Rubicon provides a renewed sense of purpose after their service in uniform has ended.
