FWRD Transylvania – 5/24/2026

Joyce Endaya; Executive Director

The mission of FWRD Transylvania is to provide coordinated recovery support to neighbors after a disaster, prepare for future events, and build community resilience.

Disaster Case Management

We help neighbors navigate recovery by connecting them to existing services and identifying unmet needs, especially those who may not know where to turn.

Volunteer & Construction Coordination

We work with local nonprofits and volunteers to organize home repairs, cleanup, and rebuilding efforts, prioritizing low-income and vulnerable households.

Community Engagement & Healing

We listen first. From community centers in the outer pockets of the county to county-wide gatherings like our One Year of Healing event, we strive to meet people where they are and bring everyone into the recovery process.
