Skilled Construction Trade Volunteers (NOTE: They generally ask
if coming in groups that 1 in 5 of volunteers are skilled
tradespersons & they DO NOT turn away unskilled construction
volunteers and can use help in the office as well as sorters and
helpers to distribute to the community in their warehouse).
They've had a steady flow of approximately 200 volunteers on site
since Christmas '06 consistently but recently has reduced to about
80-100 at a time and they expect it will pick back up again summer

Services for Mississippi Residents
Community Work Crews
Clean Up
Black mold has been one of the more damaging after effects of
Hurricane Katrina, requiring every building touched by floodwater
to have their interiors removed. We have helped clean up more
than 1,000 homes.
Most homes in Mississippi have already either been cleaned up,
or torn down. However, if you still have moldy drywall, particle
board, furniture, or other items damaged by floodwater in your
home, we can send a work crew to remove these items for you.
Whether you need your home completely "gutted out", or if there's
just a portion that needs help, such as the kitchen or bathroom,
we may be able to help. We are also able to assist with yard
clean up.
Please come to Camp Victor (a ministry of Lutheran Social Services
Disaster Response) and discuss your needs with one of our case
workers.
--------
Rebuild
If you are unable to afford reconstruction on your home, we may be
able to assist by providing labor or materials. Skilled volunteers
have begun hanging drywall, roofing, rewiring the electrical work
in homes, rebuilding fences, installing doors, and other similar
efforts. Please talk to one of our case workers, who will determine
how we can best help you.
Case workers are available for meetings at the Camp Victor building
located at 1515 Government Street, Ocean Springs. See our Location
and Directions page for directions to Camp Victor. Please bring a
picture ID, your FEMA number, and come prepared to discuss your
financial situation. Black mold has been one of the more damaging
aftereffects of Hurricane Katrina, requiring every building touched
by floodwater to have their interiors removed. We have helped clean
up more than 1,000 homes. -> 4/2/07 UPDATE through Matt Herzberg (Reservations Coord.):

Community Work Crews
Clean Up
Black mold has been one of the more damaging after effects of
Hurricane Katrina, requiring every building touched by floodwater
to have their interiors removed. We have helped clean up more
than 1,000 homes.
Most homes in Mississippi have already either been cleaned up,
or torn down. However, if you still have moldy drywall, particle
board, furniture, or other items damaged by floodwater in your
home, we can send a work crew to remove these items for you.
Whether you need your home completely "gutted out", or if there's
just a portion that needs help, such as the kitchen or bathroom,
we may be able to help. We are also able to assist with yard
clean up.
Please come to Camp Victor (a ministry of Lutheran Social Services
Disaster Response) and discuss your needs with one of our case
workers.
--------
Rebuild
If you are unable to afford reconstruction on your home, we may be
able to assist by providing labor or materials. Skilled volunteers
have begun hanging drywall, roofing, rewiring the electrical work
in homes, rebuilding fences, installing doors, and other similar
efforts. Please talk to one of our case workers, who will determine
how we can best help you.
Case workers are available for meetings at the Camp Victor building
located at 1515 Government Street, Ocean Springs. See our Location
and Directions page for directions to Camp Victor. Please bring a
picture ID, your FEMA number, and come prepared to discuss your
financial situation. Black mold has been one of the more damaging

Primary needs for Distribution to Community:

Skilled Construction Trade Volunteers (NOTE: They generally ask
if coming in groups that 1 in 5 of volunteers are skilled
tradespersons & they DO NOT turn away unskilled construction
volunteers and can use help in the office as well as sorters and
helpers to distribute to the community in their warehouse).
They've had a steady flow of approximately 200 volunteers on site
since Christmas '06 consistently but recently has reduced to about
80-100 at a time and they expect it will pick back up again summer
'07.

Services for Mississippi Residents
Community Work Crews
Clean Up
Black mold has been one of the more damaging after effects of Hurricane Katrina, requiring every building touched by floodwater to have their interiors removed. We have helped clean up more than 1,000 homes.
Most homes in Mississippi have already either been cleaned up, or torn down. However, if you still have moldy drywall, particle board, furniture, or other items damaged by floodwater in your home, we can send a work crew to remove these items for you. Whether you need your home completely "gutted out", or if there's just a portion that needs help, such as the kitchen or bathroom, we may be able to help. We are also able to assist with yard clean up.
Please come to Camp Victor (a ministry of Lutheran Social Services Disaster Response) and discuss your needs with one of our case workers.
--------
Rebuild
If you are unable to afford reconstruction on your home, we may be able to assist by providing labor or materials. Skilled volunteers have begun hanging drywall, roofing, rewiring the electrical work in homes, rebuilding fences, installing doors, and other similar efforts. Please talk to one of our case workers, who will determine how we can best help you.
Case workers are available for meetings at the Camp Victor building located at 1515 Government Street, Ocean Springs. See our Location and Directions page for directions to Camp Victor. Please bring a picture ID, your FEMA number, and come prepared to discuss your financial situation. Black mold has been one of the more damaging aftereffects of Hurricane Katrina, requiring every building touched by floodwater to have their interiors removed. We have helped clean up more than 1,000 homes.
