Each week we host neighbor night at Olive Tree. It is an opportunity for homeowners and their neighbors to come and share their stories with volunteers.

Olive Tree Village is a volunteer camp established by Presbyterian Disaster Assistance on the Gulf Coast. Our mission is to help restore homes for those whose property was destroyed or damaged during hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Olive Tree Village focuses primarily on the East New Orleans area, including the ninth ward and St. Bernard parish.
