The CRI Online Store is where you can find all your deployment related attire, gear, and links to training.
We show up unified to love in word and deed, and even our t-shirts match.
At the very core of our mission lies a profound need to show up in a high-trauma disaster impact zone as equipped and ready to serve. With decades of experience in crisis relief areas we've found the gear that matters most. There is no "best" product overall, as use-case scenario is often specific to the disaster or crisis at hand. The best product for you remains the one that meets your need in moment.
What you show up with in your hands matters, but what you show up with in your heart and mind matters most. The helping workers and needed tools and resources will always run out. ALWAYS. But the hope we carry, the true light of Christ in our hearts will never run out. NEVER.
Being equipped internally, spiritually and emotionally to show up and be the brightest light in the darkest season a community has ever faced is key to lasting change!
We always have opportunities for volunteers to train, give, and go with us to serve in impact zones of disaster. To sleep overnight with the team on site you will need to be a trained responder with our organization and apply for the deployment through the links we have.
No, we are sponsored by generous individuals and churches that value frugality, cut wasteful spending, and are focused on freedom for connection without contracts.
Most trained responders come to a deployment for several days to several weeks. They are black because that shows the least amount of dirt, but the shirts still get very dirty. It is typical to hand-wash and line-dry them if you do not have enough clean shirts. We recommend three shirts at a minimum, but many responders get six to nine to last them a full week without needing to do laundry.
Our volunteers pull the items, pray over them, and pack the orders into a single package whenever possible. This order is then shipped within 2-3 business days. At times we may be able to rush the item to you upon request. Please reach out to [email protected]
Unfortunately, returns are not free.
As a small non-profit and not an e-commerce giant like amazon, we cannot afford to process return items that do not fit as expected without charging you to ship them again.
You pay for shipping of the original item, you pay shipping for the return shipping, and you pay for shipping on the replacement item.
If an item we send does not match what you ordered, or the product is damaged, we will cover all costs to replace the item.
[email protected] is the fastest way to get ahold of us.
