Prayer

Above all else we covet your prayer. Please pray for the ongoing relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts. Add us to your church prayer list, keep up with our blog for special prayer needs, and thank God for what He continues to do in Lakeshore.

Volunteers

The devastation wrought by hurricane Katrina in our community will take years to clean up. The massive rebuilding effort requires skilled and unskilled willing hands. We especially need roofers, concrete/slab finishers, electricians, plumbers, framers, folks who can hang and mud sheet rock, finish carpenters, those able to lay flooring, painters, brick masons, and other skilled help. Contact us today about planning a mission trip to Lakeshore.

Building Materials

As we help people put their homes and lives back together we stand in constant need of building materials of every sort. We can always use sheet rock, shingles, tar paper, nails, screws, OSB, 10-2 or 12-2 wire, and pretty much any other type of standard building material. We welcome Home Depot and Lowe’s gift cards. Volunteers will use these resources in our rebuilding projects.

Food and Relief Supplies

Our food distribution center supports the residence of our community by providing them grocery and supply relief. We accept and distribute non-perishable food items such as Canned Goods, Canned Chicken, ham, and tuna, Spam, Vienna Sausage, Baby Food, Baby formula, Dry foods - Pasta, Mac & Cheese, etc., Spaghetti Sauce, Fresh and canned Fruit, Instant meals, Salt, pepper and other spices, Cooking Oils, Cornbread Mixes, Cake, Muffin, Cookie, and Brownie Mixes, Cornmeal, flour, and sugar, Coffee, Canned milk, Bottled Water, Shelf Milk (non-refrigerated), Juices, Jelly. and other non-perishable food products.

Financial

We do not charge volunteers to stay, eat, and work with us. While we run a bare bones operation, we still need money for electricity, propane, gas, and other expenses. The effort relies on generous people like you sending in contributions for the cause.

Special Needs

In the ongoing relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts various special needs arise. Keep an eye on our latest special needs category of our blog for updates on our most pressing. You may also want to see the “special projects” as well.
