About Camp Victor
Since August 2005, Camp Victor has been involved in relief and recovery efforts on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Among the first disaster response teams deployed, Lutheran Disaster Relief established relief camps based out of the churches on the coast. Camp Victor was originally based out of Christus Victor Lutheran Church in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. These relief camps operated as Red Cross Shelters, medical centers, distribution hubs, volunteer housing, case management, and construction management. Recovery operations remained at Christus Victor until June of 2006. At that time, Camp Victor moved to its current location in downtown Ocean Springs.
Today, Camp Victor specializes in providing affordable and sustainable living for residents of the coast impacted by Hurricane Katrina. Our services include volunteer housing, case management and construction management.
Six years out from the storm, it’s amazing to witness the amount of volunteers worldwide that spend their vacation time serving others that were affected by Hurricane Katrina. As others have said, “The hurricane was an act of nature and what’s happening now is an act of God.” Our organization and the homeowners of the Mississippi Gulf Coast could not have come this far without the hard work and dedication of volunteer teams such as yours. However, with each passing year and each new disaster that hits the nation, hurricane victims are forgotten. Funding for rebuilding is running low and volunteer numbers are decreasing, but there are many families that still need homes, families living in FEMA travel trailers, and families seeking hope…We will be their hope
As outside funding sources have dwindled and volunteer numbers have slowly declined, Camp Victor Ministries and other recovery camps on the Gulf Coast have had to make strategic adjustments. While we are making many changes on the “front line” to keep the mission stable, we need your support more than ever to ensure that our current mission of disaster recovery is completed and that our future mission of long-term sustainable housing on the Gulf Coast becomes a reality for all citizens.
PROGRAM UPDATE
CVM is still located in Ocean Springs. We were suppose to move to Pascagoula at the end of August, but the move is on hold for the foreseeable future.
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to hosting your group in the future.
