On August 29, 2005, the landscape of the Ms Gulf Coast forever changed due to Hurricane Katrina.
The Administrative Offices, Grass
Lawn, Gaston Hewes Rec. Center & Charles L. Walker Sr. Center were
destroyed and many other facilities severely damaged. While
our buildings are gone, our spirits remain in tact and we plan to
rebuild bigger and better than ever. Your prayers, kindness, and
generosity are appreciated.
