Fr. Jim's Log 9/8

Covington power is about 90% restored. We need to start having teams come into help clean up. We are feeding 100 meals for dinner to the fire Department and The local health care workers. We have three volunteers working In Covington.

Due to the need of cleaning supplies buckets in New Orleans we are rounding up the youth from FaithPointe (north shore) to start building buckets. I have reached out to the Mormons who helped us with them during Katrina to see if we use them as a resource as well for buckets.

Good Shepherd is still without power. We reached out to Samaritans Purse about housing there volunteers in the gym. With the shower trailer on site and we should get power back soon and we could house our own volunteers. We would need cots of some kind.

We fed 500 lunches and gave out the rest of our cleaning supplies.

We had 7 (4 Good Shepherd, 2 St Stephen’s, and 1 FaithPointe) volunteers.
