LakelandHabitat_MainFeature_ChildrenDisastersAs August 3rd 2010 approaches marking the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, we owe it to our children to make sure we do a  better job of defending them in the wake of the next catastrophe.

Lakeland Habitat supports this just cause.  From pediatric care, nutrition and counseling to child-friendly shelters and temporary schools, defending kids in the coursework of emergencies requires that nonprofits, businesses, and federal, state and local governments work together.

Habitat for Humanity is working with Congress and the President to establish the National Commission on Kids and Disasters to be sure that children are never an afterthought in a catastrophe again.  Read more and sign our petition today! Click Here…
