Backpacks for Hurricane Katrina Victims

Shipping Donated by FedEx

Hopeconnections worked with the leadership class at James Logan High to develop a plan to fill backpacks for children displaced by the hurricanne. East Baton Rouge Parish School system nearly doubled its enrollment after Katrina. They were in desperate need of school supplies for the children. The students and teachers at James Logan went into action and filled over 1000 backpacks and 1200 teacher totes. The items were shipped on October 10, 2005 to Baton Rouge.
