"VOLUNTEERISM and CITIZEN SERVICE must lead Louisiana's recovery effort."
-Lt. Gov. Mitch Landrieu

www.volunteerlouisiana.gov The devastation wrought by hurricanes Katrina and Rita has left an indelible mark on the communities affected. Equally enduring, will be the compassion and assistance poured out by volunteers brought together from across the country.

The Office of the Lieutenant Governor Louisiana Serve Commission seeks to harness this desire to help by matching the needs of community service organizations with volunteers and their unique skills. At VolunteerLouisiana.gov, community members can match their skills and interests with volunteer opportunities that will be mutually rewarding.

The website can be found at: www.volunteerlouisiana.gov/ For more information contact: 225-342-3070 or toll free: 866-286-3835
