Related Web sites

Most of the service projects I have talked about have related Web sites. I included a link to the St. Bernard Project and this is definitely one that is worth visiting if you are interested in going to New Orleans to help rebuild. Liz McCartney, the founder of the St. Bernard Project, recently won the CNN Hero of the Year award for all the work she has done to help rebuild. There are stories about all the families they have helped, newspaper articles that have mentioned the project and much more.

The St. Bernard Project works to get families who are especially in need back into their homes. This usually includes elderly homeowners and single parents. Visit this site if you are willing to donate time or money to this nonprofit organization.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Athens also has a website that contains information about volunteering and fundraisers that are being put on to benefit BBBS. This site is http://www.bbbsathens.org/.

ATCO has a website about the different programs they host for employing adults with disabilities and how you can get involved. It also lists the phone number and office hours if you are interested in contacting them. http://atcoinc.org/
