December 08 Relief Trips PDF Print E-mail

Extended Disaster Relief is preparing to take its December relief trips to New Orleans, Louisiana and Waveland, Mississippi as a response to the repeated large scale natural disasters in and around the Gulf Coast in the past several years. Our December trips are particularly special because it is during the holidays more than any other time that small gestures and acts reach even farther.
 
The December trips will be leaving early the morning of Saturday, December 13th and return Friday December 19th. There will be a mandatory pre-departure meeting Dec 3rd and a non-refundable trip fee of $120. The fee will cover the cost of the vans, gas, accommodations and all of your meals during the trip (except for meals while on the road to and from Chapel Hill).
