Raider Hope

Raider Hope is a group of Rummel Raiders who collect used furniture, clothes, cookware, silverware, and electronics to give to the residents of the St. Thomas Housing Project. Raider Hope works in cooperation with "Hope House," a Catholic Charity group which assists the poor in government built tenement homes by spreading the good news of God, dispersing used goods, and offering financial counseling. Since Rummel students first visited the St. Thomas Housing Project, many financially troubled citizens of New Orleans have been helped out by charitable gifts. Raider Hope has done other good deeds such as cleaning up an unattended playground and painting houses. The students involved in Raider Hope spend their time in the projects for one reason: to let the people who popular society turned its back on know they still have hope.
