We need your help!! We have the materials to build 2 houses for residents affected by Hurricane Katrina. We have already identified the families, but now we really need volunteers to help with the building. Our goal is to build both houses by the end of the Summer. 
|  If you ever wanted to help families get back on their feet, this is the time!!! Please help us meet our goal of putting these families back in their homes. In order to accomplish this, we need volunteer groups to travel to Mississippi for week-long work trips, beginning in June. We can't do this alone - we need your help: as volunteers, as recruiters of other volunteers, and as trip leaders. |

 Savannahians who set an example for us all in the past year. Linda Edwards and Nicole Gale-Evans -- Pickin' Up the Pieces after Katrina , By Robin Wright Gunn.
When Hurricane Katrina hit the Mississippi Gulf Coast in August 2005, Linda Edwards was six months into her new life as a stay-at-home mom with her eleven-month-old son and seventh grade daughter, after a ten-year career as an administrator in Savannah’s federal court. Sixteen months later, her life at home with the kids includes a component that is rare in most families—recruiting volunteers, collecting donated building materials, coordinating fundraising, and leading relief trips from Savannah to Pearlington, Mississippi, as the volunteer Administrative Director of Pickin’ Up the Pieces, a Savannah non-profit relief organization founded by her husband Michael Edwards in the first weeks after the storm, returning from a hastily organized solo trip to deliver water, diapers and other basic supplies. |
