USA Today Touts Presbyterian Disaster Assistance

According to a report in USA Today - the largest newspaper in the country - the Presbyterian Church (USA) has sent more than 29,000 volunteers to the Gulf coast to help relief and rebuilding efforts since Hurricane Katrina struck almost two years ago.

According to a list compiled by the newspaper, 29,345 Presbyterians have aided the Katrina relief efforts, ranking the PC(USA) fourth among all faith-based organizations.

Only the Southern Baptist Convention, Habitat for Humanity and the United Methodist Committee on Relief have contributed more volunteer workers to the relief effort. Most of the PC(USA)’s efforts have been coordinated by Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA).
