CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — FurEver United Rescue, a group of local advocates from the Coastal Bend area will be heading out to Lake Charles to deliver supplies for the people and animals who have been affected by Hurricane Laura.
The group helps animals across the Coastal Bend regularly, but have stepped in to help both people and furry friends in Louisiana.
According to FurEver United Rescue, they will be picking up supplies from Arlington and the Houston-Katy area tomorrow evening before heading out to Lake Charles.
“Our friends at Spokane Humane Society started us off, in the middle of the night, with a surprise of volunteers to walk dogs and donations that filled half of the truck of dog food, cat food, animal supplies and even pizza for us,” revealed Connie Bowen in a social media post.
Bowen and several other local advocates will be working with the Louisiana Cajun Navy to distribute the supplies to the community in Lake Charles.
“People are beginning to desperately reach out for help. We have worked with the Louisiana Cajun Navy before and we know that they are in the thick of it, have many boots on the ground, and know specific immediate needs,” stated Bowen.
The group says they are still needing some supplies to take to the people of Lake Charles who have been affected by the disastrous weather, including Hurricane Laura and tornadoes that made their way through the area.
