Latest News (November 15, 2006):
Recovery Efforts Recently, PHC has focused its
efforts on those who have "slipped through the
cracks" of other hurricane relief attempts.
There are still many families who have been
frustrated in their attempts to regain their
basic needs, including shelter. Many are still
living in inadequate housing and even in tents.
PHC is still working diligently on the Mississippi
Gulf Coast to address those basic needs.
Demolition and debris removal is largely (although
not completely) completed. The more pressing need
now is for reconstruction. The Mississippi Gulf
Coast needs skilled workers (framers, carpenters,
plumbers, roofers, electricians, drywallers, painters,
landscapers, etc.) and their helpers of any skill
level to join PHC in helping Hurricane Katrina's
victims.

Volunteer Need is Still Great

We have lots of occupancy dates available for volunteers.
The list of those who need help continues to grow.

Mission:

To bring immediate, compassionate Christian
relief and hope directly to the victims of
hurricane Katrina, primarily in the Gulfport,
Mississippi region.

Current Goals:

1. Provide a base of operations for volunteers to
receive housing, meals and rest as they engage in
work projects in communities along the Mississippi
Gulf coast.

2. Connect volunteers with work projects suited to
their interests and skills.

3. Assist in maintaining St. Ann Church and Camp Hope
in order to insure continued use of the facilities for
volunteers.
