For those who were unable to attend but would like to help, there are still plenty of opportunities to become involved with the coalition, which is comprised of both local churches, and other community groups in Rappahannock County. The group is currently focusing on helping peop'e primarily in the Waveland/ Bay Saint Louis area of Mississippi.
This area was not only one of the hardest hit by Katrina, but is also an area made up of small towns along the same scale as those in Rappahannock County.
The coalition decided the most effective way to help the people from that region would be a community to community project. Some individual churches are also planning to do church-to-church partnerships.
James Gannon suggests “Thanksgiving baskets would be a way for residents to send a little piece of Rappahannock to those devastated by the hurricane. Folks can shop for locally produced apple butter, jellies, coffee, or any other non-perishables and donate these products to be included in the Thanksgiving baskets. Of course, any non-perishable food, not just that which is locally produced, would be appropriate.” Nonperishables can be dropped off at Trinity Episcopal Church.
