Bayou Community Foundation awarded grants totaling $102,700 to eight local nonprofit organizations from the Bayou Recovery Fund for Hurricane Francine Relief September 17 – 27, 2024.

The grants from BCF’s Bayou Recovery Fund support food distribution at food banks, repair of nonprofit facilities serving residents in our most impacted communities, and housing and utility assistance for under-resourced neighbors who suffered losses from the storm.

We are grateful to all donors to our Bayou Recovery Fund for Hurricane Francine who make these grants possible, including Woodside Energy, Callais Family Fund, Humana, Louisiana Blue, and many other generous and compassionate individuals!

THANK YOU ALL!
