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.
