Rebuilding Homes and Lives After Hurricane Ike - Galveston, TX, One Mission: Galveston, Galveston, Texas

 Description

One Mission: Galveston is moving into its second year of the hurricane Ike recovery effort. We have moved past 
most of the demolition phase in the community, and we are helping homeowners in the rebuilding of their homes 
and lives. 



We need volunteers though the fall and winter of 2009, and we are accepting reservations for spring and summer 
of 2009. We can hold up to 350 volunteers in our facility (a 70,000 sqft elementary school) through which we 
feed, project manage, house and serve our volunteers. 



This is a one-stop, plug-and-play service/volunteer opportunity for those looking to come to Glaveston to help 
with the disaster recovery efforts. Check out our website for full details about the need, pricing, storm 
info, etc. 



We accept anyone who is willing to volunteer. Our groups have included 



families, 

church high school and middle school groups,

adult small groups and sunday school classes,

college service groups,

fraternities & soroities, 

community service organizations, and many more. 

Typically we allow anyone 14 and older, but we have made special considerations for people younger who come 
with parents.
