In response to the devastation caused by Hurricane Helene, Catholic Charities of Acadiana will host a one-day, item-specific drive on Monday, October 14th to collect relief supplies for survivors. The drive will take place from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM at the Catholic Charities of Acadiana Regional Disaster Response Warehouse at 403 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy, Scott, LA 70507.

Catholic Charities of Acadiana will be accepting the following items to assist in recovery efforts:

- Tarps

- Large black trash bags

- Cleaning supplies (mops, brooms, laundry detergent, and moldicide)

- Diapers (all sizes)

- $25 Visa gift cards

While we are grateful for all offers of support, we ask that donors focus on the specific requested items to ensure we are fulfilling the requested items of the responding agencies in the impacted regions.

At the conclusion of the drive, Catholic Charities of Acadiana will transport donations to responding Catholic Charities agencies serving the impacted region.


Providing Mutual Aid to Impacted Regions

Catholic Charities of Acadiana is mobilizing mutual aid efforts to assist Catholic Charities agencies in the impacted Southeastern region. Our teams are working closely with local partners and have already mobilized assets, including our mobile command unit, mobile laundry trailer, and shipments of palletized emergency response supplies.

As we continue to support our neighbors impacted by this natural disaster, we encourage you to join us in responding by donating directly to the local impacted agencies.
