❄️ Cold Weather Safety Reminder ❄️
While cold snaps don’t happen often in South Louisiana, when they do they can be dangerous. Freezing temperatures can burst pipes, damage homes, and pose serious health risks—especially to the elderly, young children, and pets.
Please take precautions: protect exposed pipes, check on neighbors, bring pets indoors, and use space heaters safely. A little preparation can prevent big problems.
Stay warm, stay safe, and look out for one another.

We are incredibly grateful to the students of Catholic Middle Campus Ministry for their beautiful service project, “Blankets for Babies.” 👶

Representing the group, Clara delivered these lovingly handmade blankets to our center, and they will be shared with our clients alongside our Christmas programs.

We are so thankful for the students’ commitment to our mission and their willingness to serve at such a meaningful time of year. Your hard work will bring warmth, comfort, and love to families who need it most this Christmas.

Thank you for choosing life, compassion, and generosity. 🎄🧶
