This past month several parishioners of Christ Church Cathedral have spent time volunteering with Camp Coast Care in Long Beach, Mississippi. Peg Black has had a wonderful experience and has been sending us photos from her trip. Please join her on her mission as we post short excerpts from her travel journal.



More about Camp Coast Care:
“Since the first days after Hurricane Katrina, we have offered help to survivors in the form of a distribution center for food, cleaning supplies, personal hygiene products, clothing, and free medical services.

Camp Coast Care has also hosted thousands of volunteers from all over the world who have come to clean out and rebuild lives, homes, and communities.

Camp Coast Care continues to adapt to the needs of the people affected by Hurricane Katrina. Since housing is now the critical ongoing concern, our focus has become the renovation and building of homes. Volunteer work crews rebuild homes, clean up, and restore the beauty of the Gulf Coast. Volunteer participation is also vital to the functioning and cleanliness of Camp Coast Care.”
