Charity/Aid Thread: Where you can volunteer, donate, etc.

I figure it's better to start this now before things are over so people can coordinate. I"ll try to update the thread as I go along. If you have anything to contribute, please post contact information (phone, email, etc) of the organizations and possibly an address if necessary.

*ETA: I edited the title b/c the Lafayette area and Jeff Davis parish have some really hard-hit areas, too.

LAFOURCHE:

Peltier Park To Accept Donations For Flood Victims

Mayor Tommy Eschete has announced that both the Offices of the Mayor and City Council of the City of Thibodaux have organized a food and household goods drive starting today, Aug. 15 for the victims of the flood disaster in our neighboring parishes.

The City’s collection point will be located at the Peltier Park Recreation Center, 151 Peltier Park Drive.

Items will be accepted today from noon to 8 p.m. and tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The collection effort will continue until further notice. It would be extremely helpful if items donated can be boxed so as to ease in the loading of trucks.

We will be accepting donations of non-perishable food items, household paper products, cleaning supplies, disposable diapers, bottled water, pet supplies and blankets. At this point we are not accepting clothing as there are many efforts in other areas which have already done that.
