“Torn-Aid” Mississippi Disaster Relief Donation Drive

Additional Information

The Lafayette Young Lawyers Association and the local Acadiana Alumni Chapter of Mississippi College School of Law have teamed up to sponsor Lafayette’s “Torn-aid” Mississippi Donation Drive this Saturday, May 3rd, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., at the Lafayette Bar Association on Johnston Street, to help our Mississippi neighbors who were tragically affected by this week’s deadly and catastrophic tornado outbreak. As result of this week's storms, hundreds of homes and businesses were completely demolished, and thousands more damaged. The Lafayette Young Lawyers Association and the local Acadiana Alumni Chapter of Mississippi College School of Law need the help of the entire Acadiana community to make the donation drive a success! Mississippi is in dire need of supplies, including but not limited to, the following items:

Furniture
Bottled Water
Clothing
Gift/Shopping Cards
Household Goods
Children’s Toys
Toilet Paper, Wet Wipes, Toiletries
Work Gloves and Equipment
Non-Perishable Foods

This Saturday, May 3, 2014, between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and5:00 p.m., please help fill the moving truck by dropping-off any donations at the Lafayette Bar Association.

We are also seeking any volunteers willing to help with sorting donations on Saturday or willing to contribute to getting a moving truck to bring the donations.

Also, alternate arrangements can be made to drop off donations at different times. Arrangements can be made to pick up larger items that cannot be dropped off at the donation delivery site, such as furniture.

Please contact local attorney Mandi A. Borne at 337-235-3383 or mandiborne@gmail.com with any questions or requests.
