Delta takes aim at areas devastated by Laura just 6 weeks ago.
2020 continues it’s cruel punches. Lake Charles and areas of southwest Louisiana are in the early stages of recovery from Hurricane Laura. Blue tarps blanket the roofs (that are left) and debris piles cover the streets. Many had just the week prior made it back to get started on the clean up and now have to evacuate again. Funds are tight, nerves are raw and hope is nearly impossible to hold on to.
CitiIMPACT’s cook teams are again ready to return to the area. We are doing our best to secure supplies. Resources are thin, both product and finances as this has been unprecedented year of disasters: a record TEN Hurricanes to make landfall in a single year, on top of west coast wildfires, and the pandemic.
WE NEED YOU MORE THAN EVER TO BRIDGE HOPE to THE HOPELESS
CURRENTLY:
