LOUISIANA – The Operation Blessing U.S. disaster relief team is in Kenner, Louisiana, in the aftermath of Hurricane Francine. Our team is working with a local partner to assess the needs of families dealing with the damage from the storm. One major need that became immediately apparent, is hot meals for Hurricane Francine victims.
Feeding Hurricane Francine Survivors
Pastor David Madden told us, “The power is still out for thousands and thousands of people. Of course, that creates a huge challenge when you need to eat, like refrigeration and also AC.” He continued, “We’re trying to meet that need by providing food for all these households without power.” Operation Blessing is partnering with a local partner to provide hot meals for these struggling families.
The residents are grateful as Operation Blessing serves their needs with such caring local partners. Local resident Jenny Vasquez said, “It’s an issue because your stove is electric and you cannot use it. So it’s nice to have a chance to have a hot meal.”
Philip Nicaud, the local mission coordinator of Church of the King College told us, “We’re here at our West Esplanade campus giving out food by Carrabba’s and hot meals, water, ice, everything.” And it makes a big difference. For people who have just withstood a powerful storm, you are showing care at a time when they really need you!
We want to thank you for your continued support and prayers, as “we’re boots on the ground” and prepared to be the hands and feet of Jesus. You can help families after disaster strikes when you visit https://www.ob.org/disaster-relief/ today!
