Hurricane Help...
We continue to offer our prayers and support to all those who have been effected by Hurricane Katrina. I encourage everyone to donate whatever they can—be it financial resources, prayers, energies or volunteering to help those folks in need. This is a time when we are being asked to reach out to our American family members offering compassion, support and above all, hope.
Below, you will find a link to the American Red Cross to make a cash donation. There is immediate need for large amounts of basic necessities: food, water, blankets and medical supplies your donation will help to purchase.

- Canned Meats
- Soups
- Pasta and Rice
- Peanut Butter and Jelly

- Baby Formula
- Baby Diapers
- Toiletries of all types
- First Aid Kits
- The list is expected to grow!
Volunteer Needs: Telemarketers to call for Donations, Food Solicitation, Volunteers who can offer shelter in their homes, Church Solicitation, General Office Tasking at our location, Fork Lift Operators, Car / Van / Truck Delivery, Council or Minister to Victims Shelter Services, Volunteer Coordination
The devastation from hurricane Katrina is heart-breaking. With water supplies running out and shelters bursting at the seams, people in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida need somewhere safe to go. But relief workers are struggling to find adequate housing for the one million people who've had to evacuate their homes. Because you live in the region, you could do a lot to alleviate this crisis by opening your home. Do you have an extra room, bed or couch where someone could stay? Post whatever you can offer at:
