At St. Jane's in Abita Springs, as well as almost every other local parish across the Archdiocese of New Orleans, are collecting goods, supplies, and cash/check donations for our impacted friends in the Lake Charles and surrounding areas of Louisiana. So everyone will understand what we are needing for our friends, consider this list:
Bottled Water
Bottled Gator Aid/Sports drinks
Non perishable foods
Manual can openers
First aid kit stuff - aspirin, bandages, etc.
Sunscreen
All types of cleaning supplies including mops, brooms, buckets, garbage bags and more
Paper products
Diapers baby wipes
Masks
Tarps to cover roofs
If capable small a/c units, generators
Unused gas cans
What about used clothing? Bottom line, this is the least thing needed now. We won't turn it away, but its not the top need now.
Cash can be brought to any Catholic Church office and checks too, made payable to the parish, or the Archdiocese of New Orleans and properly notated for Hurricane Laura relief.
The address for St Jane is 72040 Maple St Abita Springs LA 70420 or our PO Box is 870 also Abita Springs LA 70420.
