Guidelines

1. All volunteers must register. You will receive a commemorative t-shirt to wear on Thanksgiving Day, an ID badge, and instructions for your shift and assignment. Remember everyone is part of the cleanup committee so please clean as you go.
2. The Volunteer Sign-up/ Registration will be at the Depot from 3 P.M. – 7 P.M. on Wednesday and from 7 A.M.- 9 A.M. on Thanksgiving Day. Look for the banner that  says, “ VOLUNTEER REGISTRATION ”
3. Each shift will have a shift leader, please be cooperative with you leaders.

What to Bring

We have arranged to stay at the Morrell Base Camp in Waveland. This is a brand new relief center built to house relief workers. There are clean bedrooms that sleep 4-6 barracks style on cots, new showers (hot water), and restrooms all in the same building. There is a separate dining area. There is central heat and air.

Bring sleeping bags or sheets, blankets and pillows. You will need a bathrobe, shower shoes, soap and towels. Also you might want to bring bug spray as the         ”no see ums” are prevalent on the coast. You will need an alarm clock and a flashlight. Bring a jacket, and any special needs items. Do not bring valuables, jewelry, etc. Bring cash as it is a holiday and ATM’s are scarce. Do not forget any personal medicines-we will have basic pharmaceuticals and basic medical care on sight.

There is a nominal charge of $10 per person per night. Breakfast will be available at 7 a.m. each morning. There is also lunch and dinner, but we can also eat at the Calvary Chapel Relief near the Depot. There will be a Rotary Hospitality Room at the depot with snacks and beverages.
