AUXILLARY VOLUNTEER HELP:
To properly manage the funds and donations allocated to foundation we like to offer opportunities to those who cannot physically come the area and volunteer. So many people can help right from the comfort of their own home and make a tremendous impact on the residents here, while helping Foundation Hope get as many of their resources directly to the residents. Below is a list of auxiliary volunteers helpers needed:

IT support for regular computer maintenance and troubleshooting
Solicitation of Volunteer help and donations
Volunteer Coordinating offsite and scheduling
Marketing assistance for fundraisers
Grant Writers to help write grants for residents and Foundation Hope
Coordinators for possible speaking engagements and fundraising efforts

VOLUNTEER TRIPS:
Volunteers are needed to help Foundation Hope rebuild homes
in the MS Gulf Coast area. We are currently repairing and
rebuilding 44 homes through a grant provided by the People
of Saudi Arabia, The Favre Fourward Foundation and The Deanna
Favre HOPE Foundation along with the generous gifts of
compassionate individuals across the country. These homes must
be completed by June 30, 2007. So, We greatly need the assistance
of licensed and skilled tradesmen in the areas of carpentry,
framers, roofers, electricians, plumbers, architects, engineers,
surveyors, drywall laborers, painters and landscapers. In addition
to these trades, any volunteer help to prepare meals, man our
volunteer center and coordinate incoming groups is certainly
welcomed and greatly appreciated. Church groups, mission groups,
youth groups and Alternative Spring Break groups are also welcomed
and encouraged to come participate in restoring HOPE to those
adversely affected by this natural disaster.
