Massive, unprecedented flooding in the vicinity of Baton Rouge, Louisiana has led to unprecedented devastation. The amount of rain that fell in such a short time has never been seen before. Stormwater-runoff systems that have been adequate in the past were simply not able to handle the sudden demand.

We know, from our own experience after Sandy, what a blessing volunteers from Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) can be to survivors engaged in the slow work of recovery. PDA is now receiving donations to support this important work.

If you would like to contribute, you can do so either by making a check payable to Point Pleasant Presbyterian Church, with “Louisiana Floods” in the memo line, or online on the PDA website. Thank you for extending a helping hand!
