United Way of Southeast Louisiana is here before, during, and after disasters. When a disaster strikes, United Way responds at the speed of need. Your gift helps families get back in their homes, rebuild schools and businesses, and give our vulnerable neighbors the care they need. United Way works with local organizations to thoughtfully build strategies to create resilient communities.
United Way SELA encourages residents to dial 211 to access up-to-date information and available recovery services from local partners and government agencies in their respective parishes. A toll-free call to our community partners at Vialink/211 will connect residents to a community resources specialist who will help pinpoint critical aid available locally.
