We are now hosting the Southern Baptist disaster response team and they are preparing and distributing 10,000 meals per day (and that's not a typo), 10,000. They are distributing them in 4 southwest parishes and its all free of charge to folks affected by the flood. Like Duckman said, keep it local where 100% of your donations go to the flood victims and nothing goes to payroll.

I have a friend that has gone down south with his church group three times bringing stuff. That's a 2-2 1/2 hour one way drive for those guys. They have never asked for a dime. Only that people donate anything they can for them to bring south.

That has boots on the ground. I fell like the"major help groups" get money from everywhere in the US. Is why I want to give local to a group or two 3. If anyone knows said group/organization. Let me know with contact information if you have it.
Want our money to get to the people that need it. Thanks.

There's a fella in the Gonzales area repairing aluminum boats that were damaged in the rescue efforts. He might be worth a donation to. Just a thought, its yall money.

A fella I follow on YouTube did a video. He went to a FEMA relief station. They asked him how many people he needed to feed. He told them 4 adults and 3 children. They gave him 2 MREs and a 4 bottles of water. He went a block down the road to LOCAL CHURCH organization, they game him all the hot meals he wanted and a case of water. That goes to show you who helps the most.
