Disaster Assistance a mission of the Church of Christ has the Mobile Headquarters setup at Laplace Church of Christ in Laplace, LA. This location is our central distribution site for meals, other food and supplies, volunteer coordination, cleanup and repair. We are also working with several congregations in the surrounding areas. As of 10/02 we had served 15,060 meals, completed 31 work orders. There are many more families that still need help. Over 7000 houses were flooded here in St John’s Parish alone. The Disaster Assistance Mission is also working with the St John’s Long Term Recovery Program, as of right now we have over 400 workorder request and many more coming in each day. These requests are for many different things (gutting out, replacing insulation, installing sheetrock and flooring, appliances and furniture, etc. We need skilled and un skilled labors and FUNDS to help them with this. Right now we have three locations where volunteers are being housed with meals and showers provided. As you know this has been a very busy year for us. This is the third disaster we have assisted with. We can continue to do this work of helping people whose lives have been devastated by disasters only with the financial support of our brothers and sisters across the U.S.
