Presbyterian Disaster Assistance receives volunteer help from Presbyterian Investment and Loan Program employees
September 2005
In the weeks following Hurricane Katrina, which struck the Gulf Coast August 29, 2005, Presbyterian Disaster Assistance was overwhelmed with the outpouring of support by Presbyterians across the nation wishing to help with the initial disaster response. Presbyterian Investment and Loan Program employees took turns coming to the PDA offices to help with answering the many questions and phone calls from caring churches and individuals.
