ORGANIZATION SPOTLIGHT: HOUMA FOOD BANK
The Diocese of
Houma-Thibodaux Good Samaritan Food Bank in Houma continuously serves our local
community by providing food, household items and other support to families in
crisis.
The hunger problem is less
severe locally than it is statewide or nationally, statistics suggest. But a
laden table is a still a dream for many people. About 11.8 percent of
Terrebonne residents and 10.5 percent of Lafourche residents struggled to put
food on the table in 2010, according to a study by Feeding America, a national nonprofit
network of food banks.
To find out how you can help
the Food Bank collect items for our community’s hungry, visit their website at
