For the third time since Hurricane Katrina hit the area, the Irondequoit and Summerville Presbyterian Churches will be taking more than 32 volunteers to Mississippi.


Deb Hustis is among the volunteers. She says in the past...volunteers helped clean out flood-damaged homes and repair rooftops. This time around, they expect to be doing more construction of houses.


The group will be hitting the road Saturday morning and returning February 24th.
