Update 12/14/07:
Pathfinder provides housing, tools, and equipment for volunteers in order to rebuild homes for the people in Hancock County, MS who are recovering from Hurricane Katrina. Pathfinder currently has three homes that are being built. There are several smaller projects that also need volunteers: owners are in homes, but repairs and finish work still needs to be done.
Pathfinder currently has 3 bunkhouses that sleep 10 comfortably and can put up cots for an additional 10 to 20 in an air conditioned/heated Quonset hut / tent. Pathfinder has a fully functional kitchen with pots, pans, etc. for use by volunteer groups and fully functioning indoor bathrooms and showers with hot/cold water. Please go to the website, www.PathfinderMission.org for complete information for volunteers, a volunteer calendar, and downloadable forms. At the website you can also see the Current Work Projects.
