Sixty people affiliated with Coe College – including 41 students – spent Spring Break working in Gulfport and Biloxi, Miss., March 5-10 to bring hope and healing to a region still reeling from the worst natural disaster in U.S. history.

 

Thirteen faculty and staff members, a spouse, a Coe parent and four high school students were also on the service mission to the Gulf Coast.

 

The group stayed at a work camp organized by Presbyterian Disaster Assistance at Orange Grove Presbyterian Church in Gulfport. From there, teams were dispatched to assist with clean-up, recovery and rebuilding efforts.
