FROM THE WEBSITE (LTEL 9/9/12):
MNA Disaster Response staff and volunteer first responders
are on the ground in affected areas of Mississippi and
Louisiana completing assessments with local church leaders
and forming a way-forward response strategy. For now,
the best way for you to respond is to provide a financial
gift to assist with the movement of our assessment team
and first responders, as well as to help church members
meet insurance deductibles and purchase construction
materials to stabilize damaged PCA member-owned homes.
MNA is currently ramping up relief operations at
long-running New Orleans based worksites (Katrina –
August ’05) and taking preliminary steps to open a new
staging area focused on relief efforts in LaPlace,
located in St. John the Baptist Parish, one of the hardest
hit communities.
