This ministry exists to help the people of south Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas recover from the winds and surge of Hurricanes Katrina, Ike and Gustav. 

In addition to the need for volunteers to work in all of the various aspects of the ministry (skilled craftsmen, semi-skilled craftsmen, data input, kitchen/building help, intake individuals), we have specific ministry needs at any time. 

We have received funding from individuals, congregations, businesses, etc.  We have also received grants to fund specific initiatives of the ministry.  The grants we have received are listed below.

If you are aware of any foundation that we should approach about possible future partnerships, please e-mail us your suggestions.
