Hurricane Relief Workers Needed in Mandeville, LA!

If writing a check isn't enough and you want to get your hands dirty, here's your chance! Details:

  • Work crews needed at Tammany Oaks Church of Christ in Mandeville, LA, just across Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans.
  • Their building will be used as a relief center, but they need help in getting tree limbs and other debris cleaned up.
  • A church mini-bus will leave Wednesday evening after classes. We'll drive all night and arrive there Thursday morning, returning to OKC late Sunday night.
  • Depending on availability of volunteers, a second church bus may lease Thursday evening and return late Sunday night.

How you can help:

  • Pray for the victims and those attempting to help them.
  • We need chain saws, yard rakes, brooms, plastic bags for collecting debris, and anything else you can think of. Think of a congregational Spring Clean-Up on steroids!
  • If you can join us on this trip, we need your help. We'll be camping out on the church grounds so you'll need to bring camping equipment. The congregation there can provide food and water, but no electricity, running water, or sanitary facilities. If you don't mind "roughing it" for a worthy cause, here's your chance!

If you can help in any of these ways, please contact The Happy Homemaker by leaving a comment here.
