PIA is organizing relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Ida (exact
location and date TBD) to provide the most essential needs at this time,
which we've learned is water, ready-to-eat food (e.g., protein bars & drinks,
crackers, etc.) supplies (e.g., tarps, extension cords, heavy duty garbage
bags, paper towels, etc.), and personal items (e.g., baby/bath wipes, diapers,
toilet paper, feminine products, etc). We know many of you have asked how you
can help. We list a few ways below that you can help support these efforts:
- Donate supplies.We ask that you bring these to one of the following
drop-off locations, from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.:
PIA of Louisiana Office

If you would like to be added as a drop-off location in a different area than listed
above and/or for future efforts, please email
jody@piaoflouisiana.com.
- Donate money. We have set up a GoFundMe account for the sole purpose of
purchasing supplies to provide these relief efforts. You can make your donation by

- Volunteer your time. We ask that you join us in our onsite relief efforts
by letting us know when you would be available, which would include handing out
supplies and/or cooking as needed. Please email
jody@piaoflouisiana.com with your
availability. Based on responses, we will put together a schedule for those that
have volunteered.
- Other Assistance. While our efforts onsite are our initial efforts, we
know that there are other more long-term needs following a disaster, so we will be
coordinating those as well. If you can assist in another way, please email
jody@piaoflouisiana.com.
As always, we appreciate our members that come together to help other members. It has always been what makes PIA a family. Continue to keep our brothers and sisters in the affected areas in your prayers.
