During the pandemic, we have chosen the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank as our give-away-the-plate recipient a couple of times already.

With unemployment and other COVID-related relief benefits running out and the holidays fast approaching, we don’t want to see anyone go hungry in our area.

And the Northwest Louisiana Food Bank supplies our two other favorite sources of food for hungry people — the Noel UMC Food Pantry and the Highland Blessing Dinner.

Two ways to donate:

Our October 2021 Give-Away-the-Plate recipient is Together Louisiana Ida Relief.

Together Louisiana is the statewide affiliate organization which includes North Louisiana Interfaith.

It is a non-partisan political organization made up of regional organizations throughout the state including North Louisiana Interfaith and many others groups.

Together Louisiana leaders work together on issues that most concern the people in our institutions throughout the state.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Ida, Together Louisiana has worked on getting direct assistance to individuals and families who may have fallen through the cracks while at the same time working on systemic change to improve relief efforts and future systemic resilience and response.
