Text Box: Camp Coast Care at 5061 Espy Avenue, Long Beach, Mississippi. Since the first days after Hurricane Katrina, we have offered help to survivors in the form of a distribution center for food, cleaning supplies, personal hygiene products, clothing, and free medical services. Camp Coast Care has also hosted thousands of volunteers from all over the world who have come to clean out and rebuild lives, homes, and communities. Camp Coast Care continues to adapt to the needs of the people affected by Hurricane Katrina. Since housing is now the critical ongoing concern, our focus has become the renovation and building of homes. Volunteer work crews rebuild homes, clean up, and restore the beauty of the Gulf Coast. Volunteer participation is also vital to the functioning and cleanliness of Camp Coast Care. Camp Coast Care houses volunteers in our newly constructed and air-conditioned volunteer building, located on the Coast Episcopal School grounds. We provide housing, three meals, water, and paper products. To help cover these costs we request a donation of $20 per night, which allows us to use our funds for rebuilding. Not all groups are able to provide the total suggested donation. “Scholarships” are available especially for skilled work crews who are urgently needed. Please contact our Site Director (Rev. Diane Livingston) for available scholarships. dlivingston@lesm.org
