Hurricane Katrina was over 5 years ago but work still needs to be done. Families are still displaced from their homes, living in trailers or with family. Resources exclusively for hurricane damage have run out but people are still in need of help. When all the focus was on hurricane recovery, many families with other needs were ignored or neglected. Epworth Project exists to respond to those who were affected by Hurricane Katrina and were uninsured or under-insured -
whose unmet needs will not be covered by relief systems such as FEMA,
the Small Business Administration or the Re Cross. Likewise,
we seek to provide basic needs for those who are living in unfit
conditions, whether caused by Hurricane Katrina or not.
Epworth Project provides a mission
experience for youth, college students, young adults, and church groups
of all ages who are interested in being part of rebuilding the
greater New Orleans area. Our organized and energetic staff will make
sure that all of the details are arranged for your visit including
lodging, supplies, and entertainment ideas.
As a volunteer, you will transform the lives of the least, last, lost, and forgotten people of the greater New Orleans area. While you are working, your life will be transformed as well. We do what we
do because we are still haunted by the pictures of devastation from
Hurricane Katrina. With your help, we will continue
to bring hope to the people of Louisiana.
Over the past 6 years we have been able to host 95,091 volunteers that have clocked 3,803,640 work hours in the greater New Orleans area. The economic impact from this work and help is $90.7 million. Thanks to you, we have been able to help 105,600 people and repair 21,760 homes. Work is still being done. Please consider being part of the next 6 years.
If you are interested in an all-inclusive mission experience for your youth group, Epworth Project Summer Program can meet your needs! We are currently booking
youth groups for the summer of 2012. Your trip will include
lodging, food, building supplies, worship, devotionals, and fun! We
will help students connect the physical work that they are doing with
the unconditional love and grace from God.
Epworth Project
in conjunction with Northshore Disaster Recovery, Inc. will provide
spiritual, emotional, and physical resources to those affected by
Hurricane Katrina, regardless of race, creed, color, sex, handicap, or
religious preference.
