Ida threatens Saturday's last preseason game- Game Canceled - Louisiana in the cone

Great hearing from you, JP. I was seriously concerned as I knew you had taken the brunt there. Our church has rented a second truck which we will be loading with tarps, contractor trash bags, water, box fans, dehumidifiers, and N-95 masks this Saturday and Sunday. A first truck went out earlier this week. These will be delivered to Broadmoor UMC in Baton Rouge which is the staging point for final distribution where needed most.

Not sure how to help with gas, however. Both Lowe's and Home Depot here are out of gas cans. I heard yesterday that the Federal emergency reserve has been opened to help with supply.

AG, Thank Y'all; let your parishioners know how much it's appreciated, they and the utility workers are the real heroes right now...

See this is what I was talking about Brothers and Sisters, Churches and Veterans groups are where you want to throw your support...

This is our truck from earlier this week.

Like I said, gas cans have been wiped out around here. That means people are trying to get gas down there.

If any of y'all's groups want to do the same, these are the items needed and they can be sent to Broadmoor UMC in Baton Rouge ...

They are saying limit it to these items - tarps, contractor trash bags, water, box fans, dehumidifiers, and N-95 masks.
