notes: Since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hands On New Orleans volunteers have been at work every day to assist in the cleaning and rebuilding of many of the city;s sections. Volunteers are still desperately needed to aid the recovery process, and the civic action center in New Orleans
will provide a starting point for those eager to make a difference. This is a 120 year old church. Volunteers stay in two apartments just across the street from First Street UMC, or they may stay at a residential house managed by Felicity UMC. Each apartment has room for up to 6 individuals while the house can accommodate approximately 12. In both locations, we provide bunk beds. Volunteers are advised to bring their own blankets and linen. Meals are provided. Reconstruction and community support projects. The Reverend Brother Lance Eden, pastor. No charge to stay there. Fly into New Orleans and they
will pick you up. If you rent a car you can help them transport
volunteers. No volunteers under 18.
The conference relief center is a great asset. With it come staff and, eventually, caseworkers to assist residents in finding additional support for their recovery. Despite the despair and loss, there is a sense of renewal and life in the activities at the church. Eden said that when the relief center opened the line for supplies was out the church door and down the block. A steady flow of hurricane survivors continue to visit the church for supplies that include food, hygiene products, and bedding. The center is currently open on Tuesdays and usually sees 135-145 people. Additional staff and more volunteers will permit service on additional days.
First Street Church and the Central City/Uptown Relief Center continue to need volunteers. For possible service, contact the Louisiana United Methodist Storm Recovery Center at: stormrelief@bellsouth.net or telephone: 877-345-5193 or 225-346-5193

-> Since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Hands On New Orleans volunteers have been at work every day to assist in the cleaning and rebuilding of many of the city’s sections. Volunteers are still desperately needed to aid the recovery process, and the civic action center in New Orleans will provide a starting point for those eager to make a difference.
