Paying It Forward

United Ways Team Up for Flood Relief

SEC football, devoted fans and tailgating will take on a deeper meaning this Saturday as the game between the University of South Carolina Gamecocks and the LSU Tigers moves to Baton Rouge. In Columbia and throughout South Carolina rising floodwaters and dam breaks are all too reminiscent of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the levee breaches.

Hurricane Katrina Ten Years Later United Way is Here for You Before. During. After. Always.

August 29, 2005 is indelibly etched in our minds as a day of heartaches and heroes. The world watched in horror as the southeast Louisiana landscape and our lives were forever changed by Hurricane Katrina. Just three weeks later, Hurricane Rita roared ashore causing additional damage. Generations from now the catastrophes of Katrina and Rita will still be defining points in our history. And, then, as now, United Way of Southeast Louisiana will proudly say it was here for you.
