Notes

Volunteers need to bring their own flashlight, sleeping bag / blankets, pillows, towels, and personal items. As you might imagine, running a camp and supporting upwards of 70 or more volunteers requires a significant logistics effort. We do not require our volunteers bring anything beyond their personal gear. So a hammer provided by you is just as important as the hand that uses that hammer to restore a home.

Volunteers are the backbone for Shoreline Park Katrina Disaster Response effort. Food and showers are provided to volunteers along with housing in tents or in bunk houses. Parking places for RVs are very limited in the Bay St. Louis and Waveland area.

Volunteer help is needed, but please coordinate with the camp managers before you come. In general, the longer you can volunteer, the better, as many positions take training and orientation time.

---------------------------------------

We have many requests by groups to "keep us busy". We will do just that, but I want to explain that many jobs do not have the materials that are needed and sometimes we have to make trips to get what you require often resulting in down time. While volunteers call and ask what to bring, we are hampered by each job needing a number of items that we sometimes have and sometimes do not and it is hard to give specific needs over the phone. We do not have the manpower to send someone out to get specific supplies for each job, however, we do have a general need for all construction materials like insulation, Sheetrock, wire (very costly now) , electrical devices (receptacles, switches, covers, etc.). We try to require the homeowner to supply these where applicable but even that is sketchy at best. Bottom line is come with a good spirit and along with helping many people you will have a joyous time with us.
