“It’s moments like these that we see the true strength of Southeast Louisiana. That’s why United Way of Southeast Louisiana is activating our Disaster Relief Fund – it’s a way for us, as neighbors, to help our neighbors in need. Every donation, big or small, will go directly to families and our local, trusted partners working tirelessly on the ground,” said Michael Williamson, UWSELA President and CEO.
