Intro to New Orleans Trip
Members of the Community Church of Chapel Hill joined other churches in the UUA-UUSC Gulf Coast Volunteer Program the last week of March. We stayed at the Volunteer Center, located at the First Unitarian Universalist Church of New Orleans (FUUNO) in the Uptown area of New Orleans.
