Katrina Fund Status

As August ends, our Katrina Fund stands at the $4,193 level. Additional contributions keep coming from a variety of sources. All of this money will be used to purchase construction materials through the rebuilding ministry of First Presbyterian Church NOLA to help families return to their homes in the New Orleans area. Bethany Presbyterian Church in Menands maintains this account for us. Donations of any size can be sent at any time; please put "Katrina Fund" on the memo line. The address for Bethany is 21 Lyon Avenue, Menands, NY 12204.

Who We Are

We began as a group of mishuggeneh friends (which explains why our earlier name was "Misfits") who helped to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina and had support from the various Christian congregations to which most of us belonged. Through time, as we volunteered more, our group grew. Now, larger and more spread out (hence NYS and +), we are still committed to helping the Gulf Coast area, NOLA and other projects closer to home. The spiritual dimension of our work takes place both before we leave for our work site(s) in the morning and in the evening as we gather after dinner to reflect on our day.
