More than 60,000 homes were damaged in the extreme flooding<\/a>\u00a0which has left Louisiana in a state of emergency. Over 106,000 Baton Rouge households and residents have registered for federal assistance and are doing all that they can to rebuild their lives in Louisiana’s capital.<\/p>\n

Wondering how you can help the victims of one of the worst natural disasters in recent history? Here are some ways\u00a0you can help.<\/p>\n

Donate Money<\/strong>
\nFor all monetary donations, specify that it is for the Gulf Coast floods. Organizations such as American Red Cross<\/a> are providing assistance, supplies, shelter, and meals to the victims. Convoy of Hope<\/a> has already delivered more than 1 million pounds of relief supplies and will continue to do so with donations. The Salvation Army<\/a> is helping the residents of Baton Rouge by offering food, shelter, and comfort.<\/p>\n

Donate Supplies<\/strong>
\nIf you live in the region, you can donate supplies and food to multiple organizations such as Second Harvest Food Bank<\/a>, Capital Area United Way<\/a>, and Companion Animal Alliance<\/a>. Donations can also be mailed to these and many more locations.<\/p>\n

Donate Time<\/strong>
\nIf you are able, you might consider volunteering. You can\u00a0assist flood victims by cleaning out damaged homes with United Saints Recovery Project<\/a>. Spend the day with HOPE Ministries<\/a> and distribute emergency food boxes to the victims. United Blood Services is looking for blood donations as there is fear of a shortage; you can find a nearby facility here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
