Welcome To The Home Of Katrina's Angels

What We Do
Katrina's Angels is committed to empowering volunteers and organizations nationwide to work together to support those people affected
by federally and state-declared disasters. Our volunteers are provided with tools and structures to aid people affected by federally and
state-declared disasters, connecting them to the resources in our growing network. What we provide our partner organizations is access to
complementary resources and the volunteers who can provide accountability for such services or resources. Katrina's Angels acts as second
responders, looking for those "pockets of need" and working through various community projects and using supply drives and various fund
raisers to accomplish what we can for what is needed when necessary. Katrina's Angels also maintains a state-sorted resource library for
public use at:

Who We Serve
Our services are available for individuals who are displaced because of a hurricane or natural disaster and are registered with FEMA. Our volunteers and partners work directly with agencies and community groups around the nation to provide "customer service" and solutions for evacuees. If you work with groups of evacuees, please contact us so we can work with you to find new options for the people you serve.
Housing
Katrina's Angels has provided a page of information to facilitate housing goals. The organization is currently educating residents and facilitating the Hurricane Zone Housing solution as a viable and sustainable housing solution for the Gulf Coast rebuilding programs.

Our Results
We have had hundreds of volunteers registered in our organization at various times, and a growing list of partners who work together to serve the needs of those people affected by federally and state-declared disasters. Following the hurricanes of 2005, Katrina's Angels had 900+ evacuees and their families register and many families had every one of their needs filled. Even more inspiring are the results we have achieved since that time. To read more accomplishments by our organization and its partners, please visit our Results Page or the Angels in Action Forum .
