Washing Dishes at the Holiday Inn Express

FEMA is supplying housing to evacuees in all of the area hotels for up to 2 weeks. After the two weeks is up the people have no idea where they will go or what will happen to them.

The area churches are all working together to feed the evacuees. The church we were at were cooking the food outdoors and then driving it over to 3 different hotels and setting up serving lines. We served at the Holiday Inn Express which let us use their facility to clean up afterward.

Water Sent by Anheuser-Busch, Inc.

This is a tent outside the Lake Charles Civic Center where the Red Cross stored drinking water that had been donated by Anheuser-Busch. This shelter was heartbreaking. People were sleeping on cots that were lined up next to each other stretching the lenght and width of the civic center floor. I did not take pictures of this shelter because I did not want to further invade the privacy of the people staying there.

A Shelter at a United Methodist Church

This shelter did it right. They put up partitions to give family some semblance of privacy.
