Questions? Call Jason at 650.793.3818 -=-=-=-=-=-=- Emergency Communities is a non-political, non-profit, all-volunteer disaster relief organization that is: • Providing rapid, effective, and community-based relief to help rebuild lives • Uniting compassionate people from outside with the stricken community to work together for recovery • Allowing affected communities to identify their own needs and shape the nature of relief efforts Emergency Communities is entering its fourth month of operations in the devastated community of St. Bernard Parish, just outside New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward. We've served over 100,000 hot, healthful meals and continue to enable other volunteer groups and residents to move forward with rebuilding their lives. We are also planning to open a new kitchen in Plaquemines Parish, where the eye of Katrina first made landfall and submerged large swaths of land for over 30 days. The recovery effort there has been stalled, and we are excited to provide the support that will allow this community to bring itself back together.
