OUR VISION

MOBILIZING VOLUNTEERS TO PROVIDE HIGH QUALITY SERVICES TO MEET HUMAN NEEDS AFTER DISASTER

COVID-19

BGAV and Virginia Baptist Disaster Response leaders are closely monitoring the spread of COVID-19 and following guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the Virginia Department of Health (VDH), and the federal government related to our operations at home and abroad. Our primary goal is to inform you of what we are learning from VDH in your preparations for addressing this crisis. BGAV receives regular briefings from the VDH and the Virginia Department of Emergency Management.
