Noelle & Corcoran students are Operation Southern Comfort mainstays.

On March 10, SC39 volunteers will start their trip to Louisiana.  Yes - it will be the 39th Operation Southern Comfort Trip.

Don Backus will be among the travelers - he is volunteer # 2000, making his ninth trip.  Don is a great worker, a great supervisor and a wonderful friend.  Congratulations!

Alberta Lewis passed away over the weekend, after a long struggle.  Miss Alberta was a pillar of the St. Bernard community and a super friend and mentor of Operation Southern Comfort.  She was our Art Director, and oversaw our travelers' painting of countless roofing slates which she donated, casualties from her Angela Street house in Arabi.

Last fall, Operation Northern Comfort volunteers started the ONC work by working on the front yards of a number of Christopher Community houses in Syracuse.  Since then, the scene has shifted indoors, and the Chadwick residence has been the focus of considerable paintup fixup efforts. 

The project is starting to roll into a higher gear, and has a number of jobs waiting to be filled, eg the house of a 91 year-old single woman which needs much attention; painting Sarah House; and delivering furniture and appliances donated to Chadwick.
