Updates on relief kitchens-help still needed

woulda put this on the Katrina thread but it's been inactive since Dec...(drummin'Mama-you can move it if you feel like it should be moved...)

Well folks, it's paying off...We have the American Legion site, on
Coleman Ave. just a block from the beach, and when the historical
society finishes the civic center, we'll be moving the community
center into that building for a real community center for the city of
Waveland. We also have a small crew in Pearlington now too, and have
been asked to go to the Kiln, as of now we can only do Pearlington
and the Waveland project until we get more hands,we can move into our
new site Thursday morning and we need lots of hands, it's been
cleared but not cleaned. We are in need of more cookware spices,
teas, coffee, other various herbs, first aid supplies, chocolate,
tents of all sizes, tarps, shovels, and heavy duty rakes, and brooms,
rope, bug repellents, sun screens, teekee torches, candles, Rainbow
flags, bleach, warm winterware, blankets, fun family movies on DVD
for family movie night on a screan, fun family games(indoor&outdoor)
book for all ages, and all the good family energy that we can get.
I'd love to see some familar faces...Hum...Hum...hint...hint..Our
mailing address until we have our new one straightened out is

I'm hoping to hear from ya'll even if you can't make it down...If you
all could see how everyone down here is responding to 'the rainbow
hippies' coming back it would give you goosebumps, and it's because
of all of you...I Love you guys...I know we'll never be the Cafe',
but nor do we want to be, but we do want the feelings that the New
Waveland Cafe' brought to people hearts to stay alive...For
EVERYONE!!!We all need that...
Live...Love...Life...

i'm heading to biloxi the second week in march (around the 18th) for the herb fest in ocean springs. i will start collecting supplies now & bring what i can. any specifics on the spices & herbs that are needed??? how should i contact Momma KaBoom?
my folks lives in biloxi & i have seen first-hand the devastation....i would like to help

 

here's the Second Helping phone # 228-342-8834...thinking that the request was for calls after 7 (MS time) or weekends

 

hey hippiestead, wanna hear somethin?

Chance is in waveland now. Only msjan and i are not. That kid is cutiing edge huh?

 

Cool to hear that the young'ens are learning how good it is to give. We adopted a family that evacuated from New Orleans; V-kid (his screen name) picked out a bunch of books & toys to give the family. He also helped bake the 41 dozen cookies that we sent to Waveland around Thanksgiving (not an easy feat when you concider that we only have a toaster oven for baking!)

we'd be down there but the Spirit has us busy 'round here.

Maybe we'll drop Chance a card or something....

 

thanks for the info hippiestead....i've put the word out to my family here & we'll begin collecting. i've already got a LOT of organic brown rice to contribute
i'll call closer to the date & get some more info on what might be needed.

btw...41 dozen cookies in a toaster oven!!!! WOW!
