Chelsea Guidry, program director ARC of Acadiana tells KATC, "we're able to give employment opportunities to all of those participants and also pay them for the job that they are doing. But we're not able to do that without the community's support. So without donations of clothing and household items to our resale stores, as well as Mardi Gras beads to our bad drive. Without the community's support we're not able to do any of that for them."
