AID-Baton Rouge

In the past few days, the population of Baton Rouge has doubled as evacuees from Southern Louisiana and relief organizations have converged on the capital city. Volunteers at AID Baton Rouge are assisting in various relief efforts around the city, especially at shelters on the LSU Baton Rouge campus.

AID-Atlanta

A number of evacuees are being housed in Atlanta, which opened shelters as soon as evacuation orders were passed in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama. AID Atlanta volunteers are looking for opportunities to help with relief efforts in the city. If you have information about volunteering opportunities, e-mail atlanta@aidindia.org

AID Minnesota

AID-MN volunteer Dwijendra Nath Guru is part of a local group from the Twin Cities driving down to Mississippi with supplies of fresh produce, water, clothes, diapers etc. The group will distribute materials in a community north of Biloxi, MS and meet with residents and evacuees in the area to assess local requirements. Efforts are under way to set up a soup kitchen with contributions from farms and communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
