We’re on a mission.

In April, we need 50 Birminghamians with big hearts to travel to the Gulf Coast. These volunteer teams will spend a week in either Biloxi, Miss., or New Orleans, to help with the ongoing rebuilding process, a year and a half after Hurricane Katrina.

I’m working with Hands on Birmingham, a nonprofit volunteer service organization, to organize this trip. I spent a week in New Orleans last fall as a volunteer, and it changed my life.

Come with us. Show that Birmingham still cares deeply about our neighbors along the coast.

I have full details and updates on the Magic City Mission page. Free information meetings take place next week.
