Description:
Katrina's Angels is a national volunteer effort that is driven by the generosity of people wanting to make a difference for those communities affected by federally and state-declared disasters. We are committed to providing coordinated solutions to rebuild the lives of those in communities affected by disaster through our volunteers and our partners. Katrina's Angels is incorporated in the State of New York and is registered as a Public Charity 501(c)3. EIN 13-4364286.

Katrina's Angels is committed to empowering volunteers and organizations nationwide to work together to support those people affected by federally and state-declared disasters. Our volunteers are provided with tools and structures to aid people affected by federally and state-declared disasters, connecting them to the resources in our growing network. What we provide our partner organizations is access to complementary resources and the volunteers who can provide accountability for such services or resources. Katrina's Angels acts as second responders, looking for those "pockets of need" and working through various community projects and using supply drives and various fund raisers to accomplish what we can for what is needed when necessary. Katrina's Angels also maintains a state-sorted resource library for public use at:
KatrinasAngelsinActionForum



History:
We have had hundreds of volunteers registered in our organization at various times, and a growing list of partners who work together to serve the needs of those people affected by federally and state-declared disasters. Following the hurricanes of 2005, Katrina's Angels had 900+ evacuees and their families register and many families had every one of their needs filled. Even more inspiring are the results we have achieved since that time.
