The Corporation for National and Community Service has joined with the ABC television program “Good Morning America" and the Salvation Army to adopt and rebuild the Gulf Coast town of Pass Christian, Miss., hometown of “GMA” anchor Robin Roberts. In late August 2005, the 145 mile per hour winds and nearly 30-foot sea surge associated with Hurricane Katrina destroyed approximately 75 percent of the town’s homes, and 100 percent of its businesses.
