2021 Hurricane Ida response:

Hi everyone -- our team is safe from Hurricane Ida (including Abita)! But we know there's a long road ahead.

As we have more information about storm impacts, we will announce specifics about how we will support food distribution, debris removal, and roof tarping efforts in the Lower Ninth Ward and throughout Southeast Louisiana. We look forward to supporting our community and neighbors as much as we can.

For now:
- If you are a SELA resident, submit requests for cleanup help at crisiscleanup.org, and let us know what needs you see on the ground (generators, gas, water, solar chargers, hot meals, MREs, tarps??). If you are in need of financial support for evacuation or relief, request funds via this mutual aid form bit.ly/3zt3bG8 set up by our amazing team member Alaina and their partner Quinn
- If you want to help SELA, please consider offering your time or funds. Complete our volunteer interest form here https://forms.gle/vGZfZJ8ub9LfR57LA or sign up to volunteer with city-led relief efforts here https://ready.nola.gov/volunteer/. You can donate to the above mutual aid fund by sending funds to $maneatingpearl via Cash App. Donate to Common Ground Relief using the link on our page; funds will go towards immediate food and shelter relief, food security, and environmental restoration in SELA.

construction volunteer coordinator at 504.218.6613

From their website June 2010:

Common Ground Relief is run by a staff of long-term volunteer coordinators, based in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans. Each coordinator focuses on a specific project area and facilitates the work of the thousands of short-term volunteers from all walks of life who have come to work with us since 2005.

We are looking for skilled individuals, both short and long term, to come and volunteer with us in the Lower 9th Ward. We are particularly looking for those with expertise in one of our project areas. If you have experience in construction, dry wall hanging, carpentry, painting, roofing, plumbing, electric work, legal aid, environmental science, media/PR, computer technology, education or any other field that you think may be helpful to our work, please let us know!
