FROM THE WEBSITE:
Emergency Communities is no longer accepting volunteers on the Gulf Coast. We are directing all of our volunteers to join our sister organization, LowerNine.Org, which is continuing our work of rebuilding the Lower Ninth Ward. Please visit their website for more information on volunteering.

Open! The Goin' Home Cafe, Lower 9th Ward, New Orleans - Our new site is finally open, right in the heart of the Lower 9th Ward. In a way, this area was the epicentre of the Katrina disaster, but it is also an area of a tight-knit, determined, and strong community with a will to return. We are helping them on that quest with free meals, laundry services, gutting, internet, children's programs, and anything else that is asked of us.
