Volunteers, Groups of Volunteers (This facility accomodates Groups of Volunteers) available at Operation Helping Hands (Catholic Charities/New Orleans)

notes: -> Groups of 10-15 volunteers are preferrable. They can accomodate up to 100 people per week comfortably.

notes: Help gut houses with Catholic Charities. We provide housing and food for those out of town, and for all we provide the necessary safety equipment, tools, and site supervisor to do the work. Come get your hands dirty with us. Should we bring our own supplies? Groups traveling by van may consider collecting and bringing down general clean-up supplies such as rakes, brooms, masks, gloves, etc. from their home congregation, group or community. Volunteers should supply their own work gloves, plastic gloves, work goggles and face mask, preferably the kind with a respirator. Groups are also asked to consider bringing their own first aid kit provided by their local hospital. As it gets closer to the time for your trip, we will be able to tell you what specific types of items will be needed. In-kind donations of supplies for other volunteers can also help support the program. How do I organize a group? Currently Catholic Charities is only accepting volunteers in groups of 10 to 15. We do not have the staff capacity to match up individuals, couples and families with other groups. Please designate a leader, who will be the contact person. The group leader will take responsibility for communicating with the Catholic Charities Operation Helping Hands team as well as sharing all pertinent information with the other volunteer participants. Given the damage to housing and archdiocesan facilities in the area and the number of volunteers at any given time, accommodations might range from sleeping bags in church halls/parish centers, dormitory-type residence halls, or even a large military-style tent operation. ->
