NEWSFLASHWays to Help This Holiday Season!Help Pave the Wave! What better time than the holidays to help give a family the gift of a new home. Progress is happening in Waveland, but it is slow. Unemployment is very high, and most families are still in FEMA campers or homes which are only partially rebuilt. Order an engraved brick in honor or memory of a loved one, or for your church, school, business or organization and help move a family back home.A Waveland, Mississippi Christmas! Help bring holiday cheer to families in Waveland. When Hurricane Katrina's 35-foot wave washed over Waveland it took along with it children's toys and the family's possessions that make up generations of Christmas memories. A happy holiday, a Christmas Day all children and families can look forward to again this year in Waveland, Misissippi, will be difficult without our help.Sending our friends in Waveland gift cards allows parents to shop for their children's and family's holiday needs personally and help stimulate the local economy by spending holiday money in Waveland. Gift cards are also inexpensive to send to Waveland helping us send our friends the greatest amount of funds and eliminate shipping cost, which can be very high. We will be collecting cash donations for the purchase of gift cards as well as the actual gift cards from Walmart, Kmart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes. With cash we will seek matching funds from these stores to double the number of families we can help.
Please consider having a fund drive in your community, school, church, club, or organization. Many compassionate friends coming together from around the country will bring immeasurable holiday happiness, a Wave of holiday love to people who have lost so much.
