URGENT NEED:
I just received word from our Main Office & Dorm Location. Our
dorms suffered little damage. However, the ceiling caved in on
my office. Our insurance doesn’t include this loss. I have some
folks cleaning up right now! My computers, printers, phones, and
copier may be a total loss…as well as our wood furniture, file
cabinets, and refrigerators. We’re going to need immediate help
with this in order to get our office set up right away. Obviously
desktop computers and printers would be an immediate need! I’m
sure that we can get them locally.

SUPPLIES AVAILABLE LOCALLY:
One local Home Depot received 2 Tractor-Trailer loads of generators
this morning. Many of these Supplies Will Be Immediately Available
Locally! We would need Funding to access these items right away.
Food stores, hardware stores, appliance stores…they are all
beginning to open…many without any power…but, they are open and
they are receiving the necessary goods needed.

--------------------------------------

VOLUNTEERS URGENTLY NEEDED:

Operation Nehemiah can house up to 165 Volunteers in their dorms
located in New Orleans, LA. Three meals will be provided (M-Fri.),
as well as bathrooms and showers separated for men and women. Please
coordinate directly with them to agree to an appropriate donation
for your stay to cover the costs of volunteer housing. It is suggested
you bring as many tools and supplies as possible to assist with mud out
muck out projects for flooding, as well as ice chests to have on work
sites. Parking on the street near the dorm runs $8-$12 per day and is
the volunteers responsibility. The location is in a safe and secure
neighborhood. This type volunteer work requires you be in good physical
condition.

Also needed are helpers for the warehouse, distribution of relief
supplies donation collection and office duties. Some volunteer positions
do not require physical labor so if there are those on your team that
want to do lighter duty tasks, bring them along.
