ROWW’s mission is to fill the gap between the availability of skilled resources in post-disaster situations.

To date, ROWW has raised over $600,000 through the partnership with FuelFest to benefit those in need and has deployed resources to several disaster areas including recently for the Los Angeles Wildfires; Asheville, NC & Englewood, FL following hurricanes Helene and MIlton, Lahaina, Hawaii, Türkiye, and more. Additionally, Cody and Felicia Walker collaborated with The Weather Channel in 2022 on a new seriesFast: Home Rescue, to help rebuild homes across the United States that were impacted by natural disasters.
