Project Hope and Compassion

Camp Hope” in Lizana, MS


Who we are:
  An ecumenical ministry of St. Ann’s Catholic Church working with Christians, churches and supporters from many denominations throughout the United States who share the mission and goals of the project.
 

Mission:  To bring compassionate Christian relief and hope directly to the victims of hurricane Katrina along the Mississippi Gulf Coast.

 

Current Goals:  (1) Provide facilities for volunteers who come to work along the Gulf coast that will accommodate their housing and meal needs; (2) Direct volunteers to organizations that have quality work projects for clean-up, demolition and reconstruction of coastal homes; (3) Assist in support of the facilities at St. Ann’s church and Camp Hope in order to insure their continued use for volunteers.

Field Update:  December 30, 2007

 

Check our Stories Page for a message that may help those of you who may be considering your first trip to Mississippi, or those who have been here before and wondering if it would be worth coming again. Perhaps this little testimonial will help you to make the decision.

 

Note: We are in need of updated pictures for our Field Reports. Those of you who have travelled to Mississippi and have posted pictures of your group, work or experience at Camp Hope on a website, please send a link of that website to: stevehulst@charter.net.
