Retailers launch Louisiana flood relief
http://supermarketnews.com/news/retailers-launch-louisiana-flood-reliefLocal grocers Rouses and Southeastern Grocers have announced support for customers and associates impacted by devastating flooding in Louisiana, while Walmart and Target have pledged donations to local relief efforts.
All Rouses locations are accepting cash donations and donations of non-perishable food and cleaning supplies for Second Harvest and the Greater Baton Rouge Food Bank, the retailer announced. Customers can also donate online.
Immediately after the storm, Rouses urged associates at the Denham Springs store, located in an area that was particularly hard hit, to contact store directors at a neighboring location to make sure all employees were accounted for.
Rouses also posted a video to YouTube showing managing partner Donny Rouse assessing the damage at the Denham Springs store, with a promise to rebuild.

and I recall your post of the other day. I just wanted to post an update on what will be a very long road ahead for this tragic situation. I am sure the folks here can use every bit of assistance they can get. 
I believe you hit the nail on the head. It is indeed at times like these when people come together no matter their differences or their location to help one another that give me hope.
