Under construction

SETIO recently celebrated the completion of the Hurricane Rita - Port Arthur Recovery Project.  Now it is time to move on to aiding the victims of the more recent disaster, Hurricane Ike.

The majority of the labor is done by dedicated volunteers from the local area, from across the United States, and as far away as Canada.  Unfortunately all of the repairs can not be done by volunteer labor and professional contractors must be used.  In these situations, grant funds and donations are used to pay for these expenses.  Federal funds are being utilized through a partnership with the City of Port Arthur to assist low-income families with repairs for roofing, electrical and plumbing; but, unfortunately, these funds will only be enough to assist a portion of the families in need.

This is why we need the assistance of YOU and YOUR CONGREGATION OR ORGANIZATION!  Here are a few of the ways in which assistance can be provided to this important project:

• Adopt a home

• Recruit and schedule a volunteer work crew

• Donate money for construction materials and costs

• Purchase gift cards from Lowe's or Home Depot to purchase tools

• Tell your friends and neighbors about SETIO and our work

• Pray for our efforts and the families still in need
