Two philanthropic non-profits have launched fund drives to help victims of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. The Community Foundation of Acadiana has created the South Louisiana Recovery Fund to direct charitable dollars to agencies and entities in the Acadiana area providing recovery and relief. Meanwhile, the Community Foundation of Southwest Louisiana is targeting donations to help those in Calcasieu, Beauregard, Allen, Cameron and Jefferson Davis Parishes. Both foundations are highly flexible and creative in their abilities to match gifts and needs. To donate to the Community Foundation of Acadiana, go to their website here, or call 337 266-2145.
