Katrina Kleenup Volunteering


We arrived in Moss Point, MS, for our week of volunteer work with the Methodist NOMADS (RVers who travel to various projects across the country). We'll work Monday through Thursday, with Friday off to explore the area. Our host church is Caswell Springs Methodist, where we have electric and water hookups and full use of the church's restrooms, showers, and kitchen. If you look closely in the picture you can see the RV's. There are seven couples this week working on two houses, trying to get them ready for reoccupancy by the owners. After over three years, they still can't yet move back in. Our project leader tells us that there is a waiting list of 5000 homes that still need work to be fully inhabitable. The need here is great.
