More and more evacuees arriving at the disaster relief shelters

Donations are needed to support the relief efforts to transport people, for food, water, toiletries, clothing, medical supplies, sleeping bags etc. The Scientology Mission of Baton Rouge has set up a PayPal account you can use to donate for this cause. Any help you can give is appreciated.

Teams of Volunteer Ministers are now spreading out to outlying areas that have not received the help they need from relief agencies. These areas include St. Bernard’s Parish and Gretna in Louisiana, and Gulfport and Biloxi in Mississippi.

One Scientology Volunteer Minister team headed by a doctor and several registered nurses has administered 3,000 tetanus shots to police officers, firemen and other rescue service personnel. Vaccine for at least another 5,000 inoculations is badly needed. Thus, Volunteer Ministers in Los Angeles, in coordination with other religious leaders are urgently requesting the donation of more tetanus vaccine.

If you can help with donations or wish to volunteer time, call (323) 960-1949 or (800) 435-7498 or e-mail vm@volunteerministers.org

HOW TO VOLUNTEER

Contact the Scientology Disaster Response Team at the number above. You'll need a sleeping bag and air mattress. Someone is assigned to handling logistics on the ground and they have locations where people can sleep, you just need to bring something to sleep in and on. The weather is very hot (102°F), so bring summer clothes. Both the Lafayette and Baton Rouge airports are open and people can fly into them. If you are driving, bring as much drinking water as you can. In Baton Rouge the water is fine but the disaster areas and shelters need more water.
