Updated 4/25: Updated entry per sender’s request
I get a lot of email regarding Waveland, mostly from people who want to help donate or do something, although ever now and then i get assistance requests from residents. So, what i’ve started doing is asking the organizations that contact me to include a post write-up, including 1. Information for Waveland Residents and 2. How people can donate. let’s see how this works.
