We are planning a Mission trip to Sulphur, La to replace roofs on the Wesminister Presbyterian Church in Sulphur, LA. If you want to get on the volunteer list, Call 512-892-6800 or email me Email.
Also, Volunteers are needed all over the Gulf Coast. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance is setting up Volunteer Tent Cities in Mississipi to house Volunteers. They may also set one up in or around Orange Texas.PDA dedicated the first 'volunteer village' in Gautier, MS and is working on the second one in D'Iberville, MS. Eventually, we hope to have up to fifteen sites and need individuals to help manage these sites. We are looking for retired individuals, preferrably retired military, who can plan, organize, command and evaluate the activities of the site and the 150 volunteers who will be working out of the site. Selected individuals will be living in the volunteer village (tents) and will need to know how to adjust to changing situations. Contact Tary Snyder 512-892-6800 if you are interested!
