Thank you for your help!
 
The New Orleans area experienced freezing temperatures in early January that threatened the health and safety of many of the estimated 11,500 homeless people in the New Orleans area.  
We are so grateful for everyone who responded to our call for cash donations to house the medically fragile homeless persons our Outreach Team rescued from the freeze, and for the donations of blankets and warm clothes that we received that were distributed to people who refused to leave the streets or abandoned buildings. 
Many thanks to Health Care for the Homeless and City of New Orleans Health Department for operating the Overflow Shelter, and the scores of volunteers who assisted there, including the First Baptist Church of Lakeview who provided delicious meals to shelter residents throughout the weekend of Jan. 8-11. Thanks also to the following organizations for the heroic work conducted at their emergency shelters during the freeze:  
Bridge House  
Covenant House  
New Orleans Mission  
Ozanam Inn  
Salvation Army
