Operation Southern Comfort hopes to assist with the overwhelming job of clean-up and rebuilding faced by many families in the Katrina/Rita Hurricane devastated areas of Louisiana and Mississippi.  Hurricane Gustov has passed but new damage remains - homes built by the group still stand as efforts are underway to return to St Bernard Parish to continue the rebuilding.

Southern Comfort is working through churches or various denominations and other community agencies to identify families in need of assistance and to support their efforts in these storm ravaged areas.

The project is sponsored by St Joseph the Worker Parish in Liverpool, NY with financial support from Catholic Charities USA and in partnership with Belle Chasse Church of Christ, Belle Chasse LA; Gateway United Methodist Church and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), Gulfport, MI; Inter-American Redevelopment Corporation, St Bernard Project and Knights of Columbus, Chalmette, LA.  

The the acts of selflessness performed by Operation Southern Comfort volunteers continues to have a profound impact on the lives of the people and communities they've served as well as their own.
