Numbers will fade, but the lives touched will always be remembered.
Currently Southern Baptist Disaster Relief has served over 46,000 meals, provided 1,800 showers, washed 1,130 loads of laundry and completed 930 jobs with over 5,000 volunteer hours. These numbers are only what have been recorded.
With the water receding very slowly in many areas, particularly in north Louisiana, SBDR is still planning and responding to needs across Louisiana.

Disasters have a way of changing lives by bringing people together and we are seeing this happen across Louisiana.
