Katrina Foundation for Relief donates to Children's Home

Go Back

Rick Hohlt, publisher of The Ruston Daily Leader and vice president of The Katrina Foundation for Relief, presents a check for $1,500 to Terrel DeVille, president and CEO of the Louisiana Methodist Children’s Home in Ruston. The Foundation made the award to help the continuing effort of caring for evacuees from the Methodist Home for Children in New Orleans. The foundation continues to raise money through the sell of Katrina wrist bands. The ongoing efforts are designed to raise money to help Katrina victims throughout the Gulf Coast, not just those in Louisiana. The bands are available in Ruston at the Lincoln Parish Library, Ruston-Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, Community Trust Bank and The Ruston Daily Leader.


		"Band Together for Katrina" is a relief campaign created to unite people across the nation in order to provide for individuals affected by Hurricane Katrina. Your $5.00 donation will go directly for relief, restoration and rebuilding of the communities on the Gulf Coast. Wear the "Blue Band" (available in Adult or Youth sizes) as a tangible statement of your support and a reminder to pray for the individuals affected by Hurricane Katrina.
