"Many of our volunteers have expressed to me that their volunteer activity was the highlight of their trip. The consensus at the end of the day was that the experience was incredibly moving and personally rewarding, and everyone seemed to agree that they only wished they could have stayed longer and done more. To say that it was a 'positive experience' is an understatement."

Abbey Greenberg, Senior Program Associate, Tzedek Hillel (National College Service Group)

"Students were visibly moved and changed by their experience in Louisiana. Many did not know what to expect upon arrival and most could not believe their eyes, but all left with a strong desire to take this story back to campus and share their experience in order to motivate more activism on behalf of the Gulf Coast. The organization and passion that drives the work of the St. Bernard Project is truly amazing! Hopefully we will work together in the future to engage more students and help more homeowners return home."

Brittney, College Student, College Avenue Baptist Church, San Diego, CA

"The St. Bernard Project encouraged me to go out and make a difference. Everyday, there is something that I personally can do to change a life and you have shown me that through your work."

Lolo Pendergrast, Charlotte, NC

"I wanted to thank you for the wonderful organization you provided that allowed me to work in St. Bernard Parish again. It's great to know that your volunteer time is being used as efficiently as possible. I applaud all of you for that. Good luck with all future work and bless you for your dedication to the wonderful people of St. Bernard."
