Disaster Relief

Direct Service
New Orleans, Louisiana-$700

Trip Dates:February 25th - March 3rd

Gutting Sorrow, and Rebuilding Hope after Hurricane Katrina.

We’ve heard about the natural disaster called Hurricane Katrina that ruined over 275,000 homes in 2005. Today, about 80% of New Orleans has been rebuilt by volunteers. Every year since Katrina hit LMU has sent volunteers to not only help rebuild the city, but to restore hope in the hearts of many affected by the disaster. The participants chosen will work with the Catholic Charities Arch-Diocese of New Orleans in gutting and rebuilding homes alongside Katrina survivors. During this trip the participants will encounter life-changing experiences and create inspirational relationships with those who were personally affected by the hurricane. The participants chosen will be left with contentment knowing that they contributed to the relief effort of New Orleans as well as a newfound understanding of those affected in the disaster.
