The church is seeking to raise funds, canned food, and diapers for the victims of the storm.
All donations will go to local initiatives.
“We want to offer folks the opportunity to give to effective local charities in Houston. Here in New Orleans, we
understand the vital importance of coming together in times of duress, and we hope to bring the community together
to support our neighbors in Texas,” said the Reverend Paul Beedle of the recent storm. Reverend Beedle will
