Northshore Disaster Recovery Inc. is a nonprofit organization created to help the Northshore recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. In 2008, the Epworth Project was created as the ecumenical, faith-based volunteer driven component of NDRI. It was with the addition of the Epworth Project that NDRI began addressing needs around the area not directly related to Hurricane recovery. These needs include home repairs for the low income and elderly, weatherization, handicap accessibility issues, emergency repairs and assistance with routine home maintenance and upkeep issues for the elderly. Since September of 2005, NDRI and the Epworth Project have hosted more than 63,000 volunteers, provided services to over 3,300 clients and logged over 2.6 million labor hours of community service.
