Catholic Charities of Acadiana is in need of volunteers to assist in applying tarps on damaged roofs in the Acadiana area.

“In the wake of Hurricane Delta, we are responding to hundreds of individuals who are in need of assistance with damaged roofs” said Ben Broussard, Chief Communications Officer for Catholic Charities of Acadiana. “We have an opportunity and a responsibility to respond and mitigate further damage by applying as many tarps as we can in this window of good weather.”
