National Work

beyond the walls in Waveland, Mississippi

Hurricane Katrina of the 2005 Hurricane Season was one of the five deadliest hurricanes to hit the United States. It left many families homeless, jobless, and poverty-stricken. beyond the walls volunteers provided construction skills and assistance to families and children in Waveland, Mississippi. We have reconstructed several homes and helped families rebuild their lives. In addition, beyond the walls has taken truckloads of gently used items to be sold in a community thrift store which helps families furnish their new homes affordably while preserving their dignity. Our volunteers did some major cleanup, painted, spackled, drywalled, installed windows and doors, built decks and assisted in the thrift store.
