I tried to go help last week but you have to register to help out. Then on Saturday they send me a request to go. I couldn't go over the weekend and it's not looking good for me this week. Got some cooking to do fro a couples shower this weekend. Maybe next week.
On top of this I have a sister in hospice with a serious heart problem they can do nothing about. So, it's just a matter of time for her.

I am however working on something to go to Denham Springs LA(where like 90% of that city was flooded)and cook for the only Knights of Columbus council there. Trying to get some meats donated right now.

I will be headed to the affected area within a few days along with one of our technicians who is from Metairie LA. We will be taking a truck and trailer load of supplies for disaster relief.

Looking forward to the trip - but not the agony of seeing folks in a world of hurt.

I just saw this since I have been off the forum dealing with all manners of stuff.
Thanks to all who went out and helped.  I am from Baton Rouge, and know people who were caught out in the flash floods, lost homes or had them damaged from flood waters.
My nephew bought a motor for his boat and rescued people and animals stranded in their homes.  It was a great community effort to help out neighbors.
