Donations

All donations support the assistance that Project Homecoming provides persons who are low-income, uninsured, underinsured, elderly and/or disabled who are struggling to rebuild their homes following Hurricane Katrina.

Project Homecoming is a mission of the Presbytery of South Louisiana, a 501(c)3 organization, and your gifts are tax deductible. To donate to Project Homecoming, please write a check payable to, “The Presbytery of South Louisiana” and put “Project Homecoming” in the memo line. Send it to:

Homes for Christmas

Instead of purchasing a gift for someone who has everything, consider buying in their name a special gift of drywall, cabinets, a door, or flooring that will help someone in need.

When you make a donation in someone’s name as a holiday present, you not only are giving a family a home for the holidays, but strengthening a community and investing in the future of New Orleans. 100% of all money given to “Homes for Christmas” goes directly to the purchase of building materials for a homeowner needing assistance.

Gifts can be made online through Paypal or sent in a check made payable to, “Project Homecoming” and include “Homes for Christmas” in the memo line. We will then send you a custom Christmas card so that you can document your gift to your loved one.

General Donations

General donations are used by Project Homecoming where they are needed most to support the overall operations.  Whether it be rent and utilities for the warehouse, construction equipment and tools, or stipends for construction assistants, there are expenses that need to be covered to in order for Project Homecoming to continue this ministry.

Project Homecoming Has set a goal to raise $100,000 in donations from individuals and churches in 2010.  Although this may seem like a lofty goal, if each volunteer raised or contributed $150.00, we would easily exceed this goal.  It is always hardest to raise money for operational costs, but if everyone does their part, this will be an easy goal to reach.

Please consider an individual donation, or also encourage you to talk with your Church about including Project Homecoming in your annual budget for mission giving.

General donations to Project Homecoming should be made payable to, “The Presbytery of South Louisiana” and include “Project Homecoming” in the memo line.

Adopt-A-Home

Churches may wish to partner with an individual or family who do not have the funding needed to complete the rebuild of their home.   Through this partnership, you support those needing assistance with prayer and encouragement while also raising funds for the rebuild of their home.  When you “Adopt-A-Home,” 100% of the funds raised go directly towards building materials and costs of installing electrical, plumbing, and HVAC.

In the links below, we have included the stories of our Adopt-A-Home families.  Please read these over and consider either adopting the entire rebuild or simply paying for a few materials. Project Homecoming can connect you with the household you are assisting so that you can build a mutual relationship with them.  You are also encouraged to track the progress on the homes you adopt through the Project Homecoming website and to send notes to the homeowner when the house is dedicated.

Please help these deserving families get back into their homes.

Funds raised for the particular home you have “adopted” should be sent in a check made payable to, “The Presbytery of South Louisiana” and include “Project Homecoming” and the Name or Address of the home you wish to Adopt in the memo line.
