Portland charity to build homes for hurricane victims

Portland charity to build homes for hurricane victims: "Habitat for Humanity of Greater Portland usually builds houses for local families. This week, however, the organization is helping needy families more than 1,500 miles away.

Today and tomorrow, volunteers will construct two homes for victims of Hurricane Katrina in a Portland parking lot. A Naples trucking company has volunteered to drive the homes to Hattiesburg, Miss. The trip is expected to begin on Monday."
