Katrina Spring Break Relief Trips


I'm amazed, blessed, and pumped to see students from our 28 campuses in Nebraska going to the Gulf Coast over Spring Break. During the past three weeks 322 Nebraska Crusade students have spent their Spring Break on relief trips to the Gulf Coast.

This week 44 students from Dana College are in Slidell, LA along with groups from Doane College and Hastings College. This past week over 70 Crusade students from UN-Omaha spent the week in Slidell along with groups from Nebraska Wesleyan, and Kearney. You can read the list of teams who went from Nebraska the NebraskaRelief.com website.


This past fall after Hurricane Katrina hit we sent 170 students to the Gulf Coast on 7 separate trips. This winter Omaha Metro staff member Tyler Zach built the www.NebraskaRelief.com website and recruited leaders for the Spring Break trips.
