Local charity fundraising to travel to Texas to rebuild
Rochester, PA – Hosanna Industries is planning to help relieve the horrible suffering that has resulted from the catastrophic hurricane in August, 2016 in Texas. The group will be working in Rockport, TX, and staying at the First Presbyterian Church of Corpus Christi from February 25 – March 2. Habitat for Humanity, Rockport County, is in the process of reforming, and has 25 households that need essential repairs like electrical, drywall, plumbing, flooring, etc. Hosanna Industries will be working with more than 20 volunteers from Meridian Presbyterian Church and other churches in the Rivers of Life Presbytery, to complete those repairs.
Current needs:

Hosanna Industries travels to areas of disaster to help with the mobilizing of large groups of volunteers to build and repair homes damaged by tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, or other catastrophic events to bring hope and restoration to hurting individuals and communities. In 2005, Hosanna assisted over 500 households with rebuilding efforts after Hurricane Ivan flooded parts of the Pittsburgh region. In 2017, Hosanna Industries provided over 40 households with essential home repairs in Richwood, WV, after the flooding in 2016. Hosanna Industries has mobilized volunteers to rebuild after multiple disasters, including Hurricanes Andrew, Floyd and Katrina, among others.
