From Our Home to Theirs – Hurricane Ida Recovery Mission
Community Wide Donation
Please join us in a community-wide effort to collect much needed items for Hurricane Ida victims. You can find the list of items below.
“May 29, 2022 will mark the 40th anniversary of the deadly F-4 tornado that ripped through Marion. As a community, we have the opportunity to pay forward the support we received.” –Mayor Mike Absher
The City identified a parish of similar size to the greater-Marion area. St. Charles Parish, LA has a population of approximately 52,500 with the largest community being Luling of approximately 13,000. The parish government responded to the request to help immediately, citing that their donation distribution site cannot keep up with the need. The City of Marion is working directly with St. Charles Parish and their donation distributor, United Way of St. Charles. Both points of contact have repeatedly stated, “I can’t believe this. We are so grateful you are doing this.”
