LAKE CHARLES, La. (KPLC) -Though the 2020 hurricane season may be long gone.the need for help is just as apparent today as it was back in August when Hurricane Laura struck the area.
“In total, we serve about 1,500 households a month throughout the 5-parish region with about 80,000 pounds of food. So, it’s a lot of food going out to the community,” said Sister Miriam MacLean.
Catholic Charities Director Sister Miriam MacLean says the amount of people in need has consistently grown since Hurricanes Laura and Delta.
