NEEDS:

•Awareness – the news has moved on to political coverage,
meanwhile thousands are suffering. PLEASE get this out
to your social networks, church, friends, etc. The need
is huge: 15,000 homes are uninhabitable.

•FUNDING - We have received many supply donations, but
need monetary donations for operating expenses (fuel,
administration, electric, etc.) Please see if your church
or business will consider a special offering or donation
to assist.

•Supplies – Food, paper products, cleaning supplies, water,
roofing, sheetrock.

•Teams – 4 or more people for 3 or more days. Specific skills
needed: roofing, gutting, warehouse, mechanic, equipment
operators, chefs, organization, counseling. Over next 2 weeks
have greatest need. Waiving fees, just asking for love offerings.

•Long term volunteers skilled in (warehouse management, case
management, administration, disaster relief, team leadership,
construction, etc.). Must align with our statement of faith,
provide references, skills resume, and have transportation.
Commit to 2 or more weeks.

and safety of everyone involved, the folks who lost their homes,
open hearts, pray for the families of those who are serving,
wisdom, and provision.

Operations Base in Louisiana- serving 10,000 daily
Posted on September 6, 2012

CitiIMPACT President, JD Smith, left over a week ago with
clothes for three days (Hmm!). Much has transpired in that
time (please see pics on the bottom and here is link to
video from operations base) Allow us to share some highlights:

CitiIMPACT is helping to coordinate multiple sites in Hurricane
Isaac’s wake. LaPlace, LA and Ocean Springs, MS and helping
with a third Plaquemines Parish. With long standing regional
and national connections, collaborations and partnerships we
were able to mobilize quickly to be part of the solution.

10,000 meals a day are being served at sites and distributed
door-to-door
4,000 people coming to LaPlace site for distribution, counseling,
meals daily (this used to be a Target strip mall – HUGE and
highly visible to all)

National Guard and Parish police (many who lost their own homes)
are onsite at our LaPlace base 24/7

Large national non-church agencies are asking CitiIMPACT for
assistance and advise

A great collaborative effort including chefs, chaplains,
multiple denominations, local parish and state leaders,
military, volunteers, corporations, ministry partners,
and obviously lots of folks praying!

Semi’s of supplies from partners, corporations, agencies, and
people who just “heard this was where to go” are stocking the
40,000 square foot warehouse.
