Members of Customer Centricity Team
Head to
Hurricane-Ravaged Mississippi Gulf Coast
"Tour of Duty" to Help Continue the Progress
Being Made in Rebuilding The Coastal Community
Hudson, New Hampshire, January 27, 2009: Members of the Customer
Centricity, Inc. team, including its president and founder, Craig
Bailey, will be joining a local group from the First Baptist
Church of Hudson, NH on a humanitarian mission to Biloxi,
Mississippi. The mission, scheduled to begin March 2,
2009, is being coordinated with Habitat for Humanity and is
designed to help rebuild this hurricane-ravaged community.
For many of the mission members, this is their second or third
"tour of duty" in the area.
"Each team member has been deeply affected by previous
trips," said Craig Bailey, president and founder of Customer
Centricity, Inc. "We are thrilled that we can be a part of
this project."
The Biloxi, MS community and much of the Mississippi Gulf
Coast was ravaged during Hurricane Katrina in August 2005.
Nearly 267,000 homes in the Gulf Coast area were either
destroyed or damaged in the storm.
While much has been done to help the community, a great need
remains. At its peak, FEMA placed 44,000 trailers in the
area to shelter storm victims. As of June 2008, the last
7,000 occupied trailers were closed, sending hundreds of poor
desperately hunting for affordable housing.
"Katrina's devastation has dropped off the national media
radar screen, but we have not forgotten," continued Bailey.
"Rebuilding the infrastructure of the Gulf Coast is an ongoing
process and there is still a great deal of work to be done."
Habitat for Humanity, which has been running ongoing programs
to repair or repair damaged homes in the area, currently
requires over 1,000 volunteers a week to continue their projects
in the storm-affected areas along the Gulf Coast.
The mission team from the First Baptist Church consists of
Ellie Cropley, Al Daigle, Bri Daigle, Torre Daigle, Pastor Jim
Harrington, Clarice James, Mike Ledoux, Bruce Mostrom, Terry
Mostrom, Tony Rice, Jayce Stella, Jessica Surro, and Craig
Bailey. The team is responsible for covering the costs
associated with the trip, which is estimated to be approximately
$5,000. The team is seeking financial donations to help
defray this cost. Tax-deductible donations can be securely
