Lutz & Mccord Help Build Homes On Hurricane Katrina Anniversary

KELLAN LUTZ and ANNALYNNE MCCORD headed to New Orleans, Louisiana over the weekend (27-29Aug10) to help build houses on the five-year anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster.

The celebrity couple was in the city to support the St. Bernard Project, which provides relief for survivors of the 2005 disaster.

McCord has been on a fundraising mission for the charity recently, urging her Twitter.com followers to vote for the organisation to win the latest Pepsi Refresh Celebrity Challenge, which could land the project a $250,000 (£156,250) grant to build a wellbeing centre in the city.

And the 90210 star proved her dedication to the cause by taking boyfriend Lutz, along with her sister Angel, with her to New Orleans for a house building project.

In a post on his Twitter.com page, Lutz writes, “I’m here all weekend and we have a building goal of around the clock building five houses in seven days ending tomorrow on the 5th anniversary (of Hurricane Katrina).”
