Hurricane Ida sparked an epidemic of caring in Zachary, and outreach efforts ranged from a group of high school students who traveled to the decimated area to groups who collaborated to send “57 Feet of Love” in a trailer packed with food, water and relief supplies.
The Zachary High School Future Farmers of America club immediately started a school and areawide drive to collect food and supplies for the victims of Hurricane Ida in the towns of Larose and Raceland. Club president Lauren Bunch said her group added the personal touch by traveling to the area with the Baton Rouge Salvation Army to cook, serve and deliver items.
