Volunteer Testimonial
"When I returned home, I searched for community-based organizations in Louisiana that were helping Katrina survivors & Acadiana Outreach Center stood out.
I was impressed with the depth of your experience helping people who had no resources, and with your commitment to hiring Katrina survivors as part of your relief efforts. I could tell you were working tirelessly on behalf of Katrina survivors and that further, you had the know-how to make a difference."
