Presbyterian Hurricane Ike Recovery

It is imperative that the faith-based community enact Jesus’ admonition to house the homeless.  Hurricane Ike displaced 100,000 families, many of whom have no insurance or resources for recovery.

Our mission: rebuilding homes and restoring lives.  Through volunteer efforts we  are rebuilding homes, communities and churches affected by three hurricanes in three years ( Rita in 2005, Gustav in 2008 and Ike in 2008).

Helping families to return to their homes also helps

• Promote economic recovery;
• Restore neighborhoods as communities;
• Create an avenue for volunteerism; and
• Establish partnerships between faith-based communities and hurricane survivors .

The Presbytery of New Covenant in Southeast Texas provides leadership, financial assistance to Long Term Recovery Organizations (non-profit organizations sanctioned by the State of Texas), and coordination of local and national volunteer efforts.
