WELCOME TO OUR VILLAGE
134 Lakewood Dr, Luling LA 70070

Our village in Luling is located across the Mississippi River from New Orleans.

It is currently located on the beautiful grounds of First Union Presbyterian Church. After assisting those in Luling to recover from hurricane Katrina we began helping our neighbors in New Orleans with recovery efforts.

Locally there are a few businesses, the library, a diner and a Winn Dixie Grocery. Walmart and several places to eat are located west of us on Hwy 90. We have Lowe’s and Home Depot closer to our work sites in New Orleans.

Because we are just SW of New Orleans and work in New Orleans every day there are many options for entertainment on your free time. We do start the day very early so we can arrive in New Orleans ahead of the rush hour traffic. Work tools need to be carried in your vehicles to the work site. Please remember to allow room for them.

About the Village:

• We have TV and wireless Internet in the Village.
• You DO NOT need to bring water or N95 masks.
• We have electricity to the sleeping pods, but bringing a flash light for getting around in the evening is a good idea.
• Dinner is usually at 6:30pm so PLEASE advise us of your arrival time.
• The pods have heating and cooling units, which can be turned on after devotions in the evening, to make them more comfortable for sleeping.
• We have a few thin sleeping pads for the cots and a few extra sleeping bags and blankets.
• We have 4 hot water showers for men and 4 hot water showers for women.
• We have a washer and a dryer, but request that you use only when absolutely necessary.
• Steel-toed boots are suggested and long pants and long sleeved shirts make working safer. There are some boots here that have been left for others to use.
• We request the team leader assign the sleeping arrangements. Usually 2-3 to a pod.
• Please leave your valuables at home or lock them in your car trunk.
• We ask that teams come prepared to lead evening devotions for the entire group.
• Teams are asked to plan and cook one or more of the meals while at the village.

Orientation is generally around 7:30 pm on Sunday (or your arrival day). This is flexible with other activities in the village.
