With impending disaster approaching the Mississippi Coast, Lutheran Episcopal Services in Mississippi has asked us to share this call for trained personnel and volunteers to be trained to assist in responding to the growing oil spill. The following message is from Bob Lowery with LESM. His contact information follows his message.
Lutheran Episcopal Services In Mississippi (LESM) operates two construction camps on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Camp Victor is located in Ocean Springs and has the capacity to feed and house 232 people. Mission on the Bay is located in Bay St. Louis and has the capacity to feed and house 200 people. Both camps are prepared to house trained persons associated with oil spill clean-up and wildlife rescue. As of this e-mail, vacancies are still available.
