There is a need for volunteer drivers and team leaders for SC25, Operation Southern Comfort’s January 2010 trip to New Orleans and St. Bernard Parish. SC25 is scheduled for January 9-17. Currently, there are 60+ students enrolled, from Cazenovia College; Lemoyne; ESF-Syracuse; RPI; Albany; Stony Brook and elsewhere.

Operation Southern Comfort is looking for your old ink cartridges. These donations help buy school supplies for Louisiana schools. If you are interested in donating please contact us.

As Operation Southern Comfort continues with its commitment to the reconstruction of the Gulf Coast, we have several up coming trips.

"...Personally, this whole experience has been one of character building". Steven R.

...at this point in the process building friendships is just as important as building homes....the main benefit for me and the other band members was learning to appreciate what we have and seeing how much people can "band" together to overcome hardships." Bill B.
