Helping the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence

In case you didn't catch the announcement at yesterday's prayer service, here's a recap of help to the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence.

You guys really came through! Via our link online we raised $198.00 in support of the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence. This money will help them rebuild lives.

Through sponsorships and donations we've sent the following:

1 - 30 ft. truckload of supplies through UMCOR.

5,000 Razors - plus clothing, personal care items, on 1 palette of 23 boxes delivered from our office by the Southern Baptist Association.

4 - Women's Kits consisting of shampoo, deodorant and sanitary items.

11 - Packages of Women's Products.

1 - Large box of 18 washcloths, personal care products, towels etc. sent via Fed Ex.

The need is still ongoing. Six domestic violence centers were destroyed. One has reopened, another is opening soon and the other shelters will follow as they can. The coalition is asking for towels and also comforters in both full and twin size.

As people bring more items into our office we'll be sending more boxes through Fed Ex. If we get enough for a truck we will contact our friends at UMCOR or at the Southern Baptist Association to arrange delivery. We deeply appreciate your help and thiers!

Thanks for all your help!

See you online,
