Hurricane Laura - How you can help!
Posted on August 28, 2020 11:00 AM by Admin
Thankfully the Houston area was spared the impact from Hurricane Laura. Our neighbors along the Texas Louisiana border were not so lucky. If you are looking to assist with recovery efforts in those areas, either with volunteering or donating to a variety of organizations, please consider some of these organizations:
Houston Food Bank
The Houston Food Bank is organizing volunteers as well as food and supply drives for those affected by Hurricane Laura. To limit the spread of the coronavirus, the food bank is encouraging those interested in helping to make financial donations or host virtual fundraisers.
