THE REBUILDING CONTINUES

Forgotten But Not Gone is a CD project to raise money for ongoing hurricane relief efforts in the New Orleans area and the Mississippi Gulf Coast.  Many people are unaware that today, four years after Hurricane Katrina, tens of thousands of Gulf Coast Residents remain displaced from their homes.

By buying this CD, you will help residents of Greater New Orleans and the Mississippi Gulf Coast in their fight to restore their homes, their dignity, and their beloved communities.

The CD is a volunteer project of Gulf Coast Relief, Inc.  All artists, songwriters, executive producers, record labels, and publishing companies have donated these performances. If you love New Orleans and Louisiana music, you can add to your collection by local artists and help the rebuilding of our city and the Gulf Coast with your purchase.

All proceeds, approximately ten dollars per record sold, will be split 50/50 between Camp Coast Care of Lutheran-Episcopal Services of Mississippi, and the NOLA Office of Disaster Response of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. These wonderful organizations work very hard to rebuild homes, communities and lives. Both have dormitories to house volunteers who travel to New Orleans and the Gulf Coast to help out. Although faith-based, both groups serve the needy without regard to religious affiliation.

Go to Forgotten-but-not-gone.org to listen to the songs and purchase the CD. The rebuilding and the beat goes on!
