I lived on the MS coast when Katrina came ashore so I know what the immediate need is. I would like to volunteer to go over to the affected area and help with whatever. I have registered with Volunteerflorida and contacted several local churches but have not been contacted to go - they say that tey will contact me when I will be needed. Given the time to get over there and I would like to stay for awhile I would need some where to stay and to sustain myself. Can anyone recommend who/what organization to contact so that I can help? BTW, I am retired so I would be able to stay over there and help for several days.
