CAA collecting for Harvey relief

Almetra J. Franklin, CEO, has announced that St. Mary Community Action Agency is continuing its efforts to assist the people of Texas and Louisiana in recovering from the devastation left behind by Hurricane Harvey.
The agency is partnering with Teche Action Clinic and the Franklin City Marshall’s Office to collect items that will be sent to assist those who are still in need.
Items accepted are canned goods, brushes, cleaning items, new undergarments, t-shirts and socks, diapers and formula, towels, water and juices.
Because of the kindness of agencies from other parishes, the agency has many clothing items other than those listed. Other items can be dropped off at St. Mary CAA’s central office at 1407 Barrow St., Teche Action Clinic on Weber Street and the Franklin City Marshall’s Office at 317 Willow St. Donations will be accepted through Oct. 6.
