Another Katrina trip... launching from the Nora area...

[hat-tip, Melissa, for passing this tip along via email]

From Steve Clark...

"Hurricane Katrina has had an effect on us all. From images seen on TV to stories of those that have gone to help, it is apparent that help and relief will be needed for years to come.

This Thursday a group of 15 of us from Nora Christian Fellowship will be heading down to the Biloxi Mississippi area to continue spreading the relief effort to those affected by Hurricane Katrina. We know that we won't make a scratch in the overall needs, but if we can directly help several families or churches begin to rebuild their lives, then it is worth it. We have had groups from our church continually going down to the Gulfport - Biloxi area, bringing water, food, clothes, diapers, etc. Aaron Wilson, one of our leaders, had been put in charge of scouting areas for semi’s to unload supplies gathered by Traders Point, Grace, and other local churches because of his experience of being down there since the storm hit. The response from these and other churches all over America have been overwhelming with Semi after Semi delivering supplies!

Thankfully there is an abundance of food and water in this area and the need is to now begin repairing and rebuilding churches, homes, and schools in the affected areas. There are several items that are in much need in the area to help clean and rebuild.

Items needed are:
Plastic Tarps - many!
Laundry Detergent
Mops / Brooms / Buckets>Bleach / Cleaners / Spray Bottles>Rubber Gloves

If you can help, please drop these items off by Thursday 2p at Nora Christian Fellowship located at 465 E 86th St - located on 86th st between Meridian and College on the South side of the street. If you would like to make a money donation that is tax deductible and will be used to buy supplies, it can be made out to Nora Christian - post marked, Disaster Relief. You can also call me and I can have the supplies picked up from your home or business. If you can't make a donation in time but are still interested, please do so, other groups will be going down in the coming weeks.>>We are leaving this THURSDAY at 2pm and will be returning on Monday. Your gifts and donations will be hand delivered this week to people in much need of help. Thank you for your prayers and support!"
