In response to the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Family International volunteers are currently on the scene aiding existing relief efforts in providing food, clothing, water and other basic needs to the evacuees from Louisiana.

Family International volunteers wish to express their condolences to each victim of Hurricane Katrina. Our hearts go out to each one affected by this tragedy and the resultant suffering and loss. We pray that God's abundant grace and comfort will afford a place of refuge in this time of trouble. We urge the American people to donate to relief efforts of their choice to alleviate the suffering of our fellow citizens.
