CityTeam Still on the Ground One Year Later
Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina
SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- CityTeam is a non-profit,
non-denominational Christian organization that helps the poor and homeless
around the world. One year ago, Hurricane Katrina destroyed the city of Bay
St. Louis, MS. CityTeam heard the call to rush to their aid with shelter,
feeding, counseling, AA meetings, case management, and rebuilding homes.
CityTeam has been on the ground in Bay St. Louis helping people rebuild
their lives, their city and their homes. We are still there today and it
has been our joy to come along side this city and help in multiple ways --
from delivering food supplies to repairing a home. We are an agency with
multiple services and volunteers to provide real hope, that real change is
possible.

"Bay Saint Louis would not be a functioning community without this
partnership with CityTeam. Their leaders recognize and meet our needs
with a clarity that locals do not have yet."
"CityTeam has helped us survive, literally, and we will be forever
grateful and will always remember their impact on our lives for many
generations to come."
Mayor Eddie Favre,
Bay St. Louis, MS
"It has been our honor to come along side the city of Bay St. Louis and
Mayor Eddie Favre and help rebuild their community after Hurricane
Katrina," said Patrick Robertson, president, CityTeam Ministries. "We are
so grateful for all the donors and volunteers from across the nation that
have helped us reach out to serve thousands of people who have faced
devastation because of this terrible disaster. The lives of our volunteers
have changed forever as they have worked long days, slept in tents and
personally seen the hope of the people that have lost so much. The people
of Bay St. Louis have helped us be a better organization today."
CityTeam is currently helping to rebuild over 130 homes in Bay St.
Louis. We have depleted our designated financial funds, but we continue to
press on. More volunteers are still needed today. Even one year after the
disaster -- people can still see how their involvement can impact lives in
Bay St. Louis.
