Today is the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Much has been done to rebuild but this is a monumental task that will continue for years to come. Please help the rebirth of a great American city. There are many ways to do so:
Donate online! Give $5, $50, or $500 to help Construction Assistants train new volunteers.
If you are in California:
In the Bay Area: Go to Roux Louisiana Kitchen! Address is on our side bar. 10% of their proceeds for the day will go to Project Homecoming.
In Santa Barbara: Eat at Woodstock's! Up to 25% of their proceeds from 5-9pm will go to Project Homecoming. You need to mention PH, New Orleans or Katrina to help.
About The Road Trip
- Project Homecoming
- Hello! This blog will follow Alex Marino, Christina Drake, and Henry Lin as they travel from New Orleans to California and beyond. This Krewe du NOLA is a bunch of long-term volunteers who have served two or three years as Construction Assistants with Project Homecoming, the rebuilding ministry of the Presbytery of South Louisiana partnered with Presbyterian Disaster Assistance. PH has built over 125 homes in the Greater New Orleans area that were affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005. We are raising $30,000 before September 1st to help provide a living stipend for FIVE long-term volunteers for one year. Help to rebuild New Orleans by coming to a presentation, eating some New Orleans cookin’ and bringing more people to this blog!
