On the 3rd anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we are once again watching a major hurricane in the Gulf with the potential to hit New Orleans. With that in mind, we have many local volunteers on their way to Baton Rouge, LA to work in shelters and feeding sites. Below are voluteers joining those who have already arrived in Baton Rouge.

· Don Crews (Danville) will be a Staff Services worker
· Carolyn Hughes (Peoria) will be a Feeding Supervisor
· Larry Thompson (Peoria) will be a Shelter worker
· Doug Walker (Champaign) will be a Government Liaison
· Jan Stuckey (Champaign) will be a Government Liaison
· Gary Clayton (Peoria) will be a Feeding worker
· Harley Jones (Peoria) will be the Government Liaison Manager for the entire Louisiana DR

Dick Steeves (Champaign), Lou Fuentes (Champaign), and Gene Schlink (Peoria) are all on standby awaiting their assignment.

If you are interested in volunteering to help locally, or nationally, please call (309) 677-7272.
