No Place Like Home - Help Still Needed in New Orleans

• Did you know it has been nearly five years since Hurricane Katrina made landfall... and there are still 971 families living in temporary and FEMA housing? United Way Worldwide and the United Way of Greater New Orleans have partnered to create an online initiative, NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
• NO PLACE LIKE HOME wants to build one house per week in New Orleans between now and August 29, the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina's landfall.
• The online initiative is about raising awareness around the ongoing rebuilding work in the Gulf Coast. It is about recruiting volunteers to travel down to Louisiana and help with the rebuilding, as well as recruiting advocates to spread the word and givers to fund the work.
• You can help simply by joining the movement and "pledging your support" on this website: http://rebuildnola.unitedway.org/. It is free to pledge your support, and one dollar will be donated to United Way's efforts to help rebuild New Orleans. You can also learn more by clicking here.
