Under construction

SETIO's  Port Arthur Recovery Project ended July 31, 2009.  The original goal was the repair of 300 homes.  The project exceeded it goal by nearly 50%, repairing 29 homes.

In response to Hurricane Ike needs, SETIO opened three recovery projects in Port Arthur, Bridge City, and Cheek Texas.  Those projects closed successfully August 31, 2010.

The majority of the labor was done by dedicated volunteers from the local area, from across the United States, and as far away as Canada.  Unfortunately all of the repairs can not be done by volunteer labor and professional contractors must be used.  In these situations, grant funds and donations are used to pay for these expenses. 

Federal funds were utilized through a partnership with the City of Port Arthur to assist low-income families with repairs for roofing, electrical and plumbing.

This is why we need the assistance of YOU and YOUR CONGREGATION OR ORGANIZATION!  Here are a few of the ways in which assistance can be provided to this important project:

• Adopt a home

• Donate money for construction materials and costs

• Donate gift cards from Lowe's or Home Depot to purchase materials

• Tell your friends and neighbors about SETIO and our work

• Pray for our efforts and the families still in need
