Floodwaters Devastate Baton Rouge Food Bank
The Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank took on over 4 feet of flood water last Weekend. 500,000 lbs of food items have been lost; that's 415,000 "meals", based on USDA calculations, at a cost of millions. Their administrative offices have also been ruined - but the bigger concern is that right now they are unable to fulfill their mission of helping the community, which desperately needs them. This organization that helps others is suffering from the flood. (tvl expenses minimal; twitter: jessicarosgaard cell: 504-235-2377)
