Flood

[Luigi Mandile]

St. Anna's Episcopal Church is currently inviting parishioners and friends of the church as well as community partners to start our urgently needed response to the flood families in Louisiana. Basically our response is three stages that overlap. One, get "toiletry bags" to families in need we are identifying sites in Baton Rouge and Denim Springs. We want to keep these bags flowing in for the next two weeks. At the same time think about volunteering for mucking and gutting which may start next week. If interested contact the church via email or simply call. If you have a group that is great. Next week we will start asking for recovery tools. Watch out for out next post! Other things that are needed are cash donations and gift cards. All donations will go directly to those in need. So lets get started with making up the following items. We want to deliver at least 100 bags Saturday. More later on recovery and restoration.  OUR CONTACT INFORMATION IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS E-MAIL
