Fisrst Presbyterian Church of New OrleansFirst Presbyterian is helping rebuild a number of houses at any given time.  The work is coordinated by Leroy, the Construction Manager.  He provides guidance as needed and necessary tools, ladders, and material.  Each group has at least one skilled person and works on their own to complete the assigned tasks.   For several of the houses, the owners help fund purchase of supplies. Others are 100% funded by donations. The owner of the house we are working on is paying for about half of the supplies.

We will do a small page of pictures and discriptions of what we are doing every evening. You may click on any image for a larger copy.

Check out what we accomplished Monday and Tuesday
