Acadiana Area Red Cross

When disasters strike, the American Red Cross works to turn heartbreak into hope. Sponsor a Piper the Puppy and promise a brighter tomorrow for local children affected by disaster.

About 11 families across our seven-parish region will lose their home and belongings each month to a fire. Learn what you can do to protect your family now.

Disaster services, including shelters such as this one, provide for displaced neighbors’ basic needs and offer a helping hand. Learn more about volunteering with the Red Cross.

Because of donors and volunteers, the Red Cross continues to provide shelter, food, emotional support and relief supplies after dozens of tornadoes swept the South and Midwest.

Red Cross volunteers pass out sandwiches, drinks and snacks to residents beginning the recovery process after a disaster. Training is free and will allow you to feel confident in your ability to help.
