Rather than practicing on Tuesday, June 10, Saints players and coaches will help finish in the rebuilding of three houses for a trio of families in New Orleans. These longtime residents of the area – the homes are all on the same street – will finally be able to live in completed houses after the work is finished.
Working in tandem with Rebuilding Together New Orleans, Inc., the four busloads of players will depart the club's facility and work for four hours at all three sites – painting the interior and exterior, building fences, installing lattice work and landscaping the yards of all three sites.
In addition to providing the labor, the club has made a $50,000 donation from the New Orleans Saints Hurricane Katrina Fund to purchase the supplies and equipment to fund these projects.
