Description
The Waveland Citizens Fund is a 501 (c)(3) not for profit organization. The fund was established as a result of generous people from around the world and local citizens contributing to assist Waveland citizens in December 2005. Since then the fund has received numerous donations to help in emergency situations.
Our main focus now is to apply for and receive grants to rebuild homes. Working with long term recovery centers, we provide the accounting and financial services needed and they provide the case management, supervision of materials and laobor and daily contact with our citizens.
Our greatest need is skilled labor volunteers who can supervise some phase of constructioin for any amount of time. We have unskilled volunteers who need instruction and supervision.
