OUR GOAL
:

To bring 50 members of St. John's #5 Faith Church (7th Ward), a group deeply committed to helping those in need, to this year's Save the Planet Gathering

The clean air and community setting will provide these adults and youth a supportive forum from which to:

  • Share from the heart their stories of plight
  • Help others understand the current situation in New Orleans
  • Take a break from the deplorable living conditions they still live in
  • Recapture their passion for living so they can keep serving

WHAT IS NEEDED:
Your financial support, whether great or small, will contribute to the progress of this vital initiative and help us to provide:
  • Roundtrip transportation from New Orleans to Thunder Mountain
  • Meaningful social, educational, and recreational programs
  • Sleeping accommodations and 3 meals daily for one week

"The Summer Peace Gathering will be a fun,
camping type break from life that they need.
I am sure we can all relate".

Kimberly Durrow, United Way
