And we are not finished yet! A huge NEED REMAINS, and Bayou Community Foundation and Our Lady of the Isle Catholic Church are excited to announce that a second season of Rebuild Grand Isle work begins this October!

Volunteers with MDS Storm Aid, Mennonite Disaster Service RV group, NOMADS Mission Volunteers and CARE will get be back on the island this fall through May 2024 to repair and build even more homes for Hurricane Ida survivors on Grand Isle.
