TIL,

The Mennonite Disaster Service exists.

I also learned, a group of Amish volunteers have built over 150 bridges and culverts in Western North Carolina since the hurricane, to help supplies reach people.

Kinda speechless at this.

There are a lot of these projects that go on around the country. If you are Anabaptist, we believe in nonresistance and do not go to war. There are programs that young men can volunteer for, like you describe above, where they serve others and if there is ever a draft, they are exempt.
