Update on our 2016 Hurricane Season disaster response
Since the beginning Hurricane Harvey’s impact upon our state and region, we have responded to those in need in South Louisiana, particularly in Calcasieu, Cameron, Vermilion, Iberia, Jefferson Davis and Beauregard, and are also supporting storm victims in Texas. To date, we have collected and distributed approximately 400,000 pounds of disaster supplies. Thank you to everyone who has supported our response!
Click here to support our ongoing fight against the everyday disaster of hunger, as well as helping us prepare for disasters year-round.
