Help Provide Local Services
Help Provide Shelter Meals. All hands on deck!! We will begin to sponsor, prepare, and deliver dinner to the Emergency Shelter Management Services on Grand Avenue.
We're looking for individuals, churches, and other organizations to join the effort and help us to expand in terms of number of days and number of shelters that we can help.

Help Assist National Services
New Orleans is still Hungry! Debra South is an amazing woman who is doing something about it in a big way! Debra W. South was a disabled mother of two who knew what it meant to struggle. She also knew how it felt to "have too much money to receive assistance and not enough money to make ends meet". She was blessed with family and friends who were there for her and her children. They assisted her with food, money, or whatever the need was.
Debra and those faithful friends prayed, discussed, and agreed to do something to help the community. Their prayers became a reality on May 3, 1999, the establishment of Just The Right Attitude.
Just the Right Attitude opened its doors in September 2001 as a food bank. The food bank services people in the Greater New Orleans area and some parts of Mississippi.
With the crunch to the economy, her ministry to those in need is hurting and the demand for services is rising...you know the story all too well!
You can contribute to her directly, or join us in letting her now that we don't have to be local to care! Email us to find out how we can help together: jtra@poorconnection.org.
Go Global- Physically or Financially
Join us in Kigali, Rwanda, July 2009. We're going to learn by doing! This event, sponsored by the Luis Palau Evangelistic Organization will feature a season of community service (including participation by hundreds of local churches and 80 or so churches from the US) and culminate in a major festival. The festival is expected to draw approximately 1 million people! Email: Rwanda@poorconnection.org
Stay tuned for our global efforts.....we're about to launch out......
