It has been over four years since communities in Mississippi and Louisiana were devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Since then, hurricanes have continued to hinder rebuilding plans in the Southern states as well as peoples efforts to rebuild their lives. Volunteers are still needed, particularly those with trade skills. This trip will provide you with the opportunity to use your skills and energy to rebuild homes. You will witness the overwhelming hope that is present in spite of the disaster.

The team will gather in Toronto and then drive down to one of PC(USA)’s volunteer camps. Presbyterian Disaster Assistance will host the group and provide leadership and supplies for the work project.

If you are…
• have skills in carpentry/building
• interested disaster relief
• hard working
• like meeting new people
• or are just interested in helping,
...this trip is especially for you

No special building skills are required
