Thank you for expressing an interest in making a trip to Lakeshore. The relief, recovery, and rebuilding efforts could not move forward without your help. Lakeshore Mississippi took the brunt of Hurricane Katrina’s fury. Strong sustained winds (150+ mph) and a 42 foot storm surge destroyed all the homes in this almost forgotten town, leaving its residents without shelter, food, or running water. Months later, the daunting task of rebuilding homes and lives continues. From day one, Lakeshore Baptist Church has served as a conduit of help and hope for her hurting community.

Thousands of gulf coast residence still live in very difficult conditions. With their homes destroyed, their lives drastically altered, and reminders of devastation at every turn, the task seems overwhelming. You can make a very real difference in their lives.

The needs remain great and the project list continues to grow. Your visit will provide help and hope to the Lakeshore community.
