notes: 10/16/06 Update from craigslist: Relief Spark has secured housing for volunteers at a luxury hotel in the downtown area of New Orleans. We have additional rooms/spaces available for volunteers. Here is the setup of each room and things you can do as a group when not volunteering: Each room can comfortably sleep 5 volunteers (2 full beds and a sofa sleeper) Coffeemaker in each room The ability to take a shower and bath! Rooftop pool Support small businesses by eating out as a group - there are several inexpensive restaurants in walking distance from the hotel Support businesses in the French Quarter Attend the New Orleans Film Festival at Canal Shops on Canal Go to the Aquarium Take the Canal St. Ferry to Algiers Point - est. 1867 Take an evening buggy ride Go for a historic tour of the French Quarter Go on a haunted tour of the French Quarter As a group, check out the haunted houses in the area!!!! Your daily schedule will look like this: All volunteers leave at 8am for house gutting Break at noon Go back to work at 12:30pm Gut your little heart out until 4pm Clean up and depart back to hotel at 4:30pm ALL Relief Spark Volunteers are required to bring the following with them: (1) Tyvek suit per day of house gutting (1) pair of steel toe boots (1) pair of MSA filters ALL Relief Spark Volunteers are required to attend the following: Orientation and safety equipment training *if you don't attend this, you won't be able to A) stay with us and B) gut houses with us Relief Spark Volunteers gut houses 5-days a week. Due to a limited staff, we do not offer weekend house gutting adventures at this time. Relief Spark is ideal for groups. Within each group, we will appoint a Team Leader and train this person the first day of gutting. If you are volunteering by yourself, please let us know and we will place you with a team. Relief Spark has 165 houses to gut. We NEED YOU! A team of 10 volunteers can gut 1 house in 2 days. Keep this in mind when making arrangements. Relief Spark is booking volunteers for November and December and we will have limited availability so please EMAIL US now! Your time - whether online or on the ground with us in New Orleans is valued by the families we help. One lady we know by the name of "Rose" has developed wonderful friendships with many volunteers. She once told us, "The volunteers give me hope." For someone who has lost everything - having you come out to help us means the world to the families we help. As an organization, we also need your support. You can help by.... 1. Volunteering on the ground. Come on out to New Orleans this spring or join us for Summer Camp! As we work diligently on securing housing for volunteers; we are accepting reservations for Summer Camp! Click here if you or a group would like to come out and help us! 2. Email us and tell us you want to be a Team Leader in your hometown. A Team Leader organizes donation drives and spreads the word on what's really going on here so your community can get involved. Team Leaders are also responsible for coordinating volunteers and assisting with any travel plans. 3. Our volunteers need tools such as crowbars, pry bars, hammers, nail pullers, scoop shovels, wheelbarrows, sledgehammers and other demolition tools. As a volunteer you can organize a "tool drive" in your hometown and have a crew of volunteers drive the tools to us. And yes, they will be working with us for a week or more! 4. Volunteers also need safety gear. Did you know it costs $120.00 per week to supply one volunteer with all the safety gear that is necessary? We need Volunteers and Team Leaders across the country to hold donation drives for safety equipment. Everything can be purchased at Home Depot EXCEPT for working rubber boots which can be purchased at Wal-Mart for $15.00/pair. A pair of steel-toe boots will run about $29.99/pair (we ask that Volunteers purchase this item themselves). -Tyvek Suit - $9.97 (1 suit needed per day) -Protective Eyewear - $8.00 -Working Gloves - $3.00 -Rubber Gloves - heavy duty - $6.00 -Air Respirator - with air filters - $27.00 -Hard Hat - $6.29 If you would like to ship us gift cards for Home Depot or Lowe's - that would be such a huge help to us and enable us to provide gear for more volunteers - which means gutting more houses! *When sending us any type of gift card, please send via UPS/Fedex or DHL as postal mail does not work. 5. Host a fundraiser for Relief Spark and the families we are helping. We will provide you with all the information on each family including pictures. We will send you a "wish list" and a necessities list and help you market the event - including contacting your local media. -> 10/16/06 Update from craigslist: Relief Spark has secured housing for volunteers at a luxury hotel in the downtown area of New Orleans.
