Gulf Coast Works invites you to be a part of Gulf Coast rebuilding and recovery! We are a grass-roots organization established to help people recover in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina through volunteer help, and since late 2005, we have helped hundreds of volunteers get there to clean up and rebuild. After Five year there is still so much to do.
Become a part of a team of volunteers for Fall 2010 that can help in many ways, from actual hands-on building to other much needed work in communities of St. Bernard Parish adjacent to New Orleans!
“ Gulf Coast Works has received a grant of funds for
rebuilding homes on the gulf coast damaged by Katrina.
We will partner with St Bernard Project.
They have rebuilt over 200
homes with volunteer labor.
We will fund the rebuilding of one home($15,000).
In conjunction with the funding ,
we will lead teams to work on the home for each of
three consecutive weeks beginning on October 2.
--Peter Hilton will lead the first trip, October 2 -9.
--The second week, is the women's work week at the
St Bernard Project. We hope to field an
all women team (looking for a leader)
--The leadership for the third trip is still to be finalized.
  The building of a new home in the Ninth Ward with its completion in May '09 is a huge success! Fall 2010 promises to be just as productive, fun, and rewarding. Click here to see details about that great opportunity to volunteer.
  Our friends at St. Bernard Project adjoining New Orleans are committed for the long term. This past December a group
of our volunteers
worked with them
and were
genuinely impressed.
 Many grassroots groups along the Gulf Coast have no budget for the assistance they need, such as legal advice and accounting. Volunteers with these skills can help, without even traveling, by donating their time and expertise from home.
