Hurricane Katrina not only affected the residents of Louisiana but its effects were felt all throughout the United States. It caused widespread devastation in New Orleans; people lost their lives and everything they possessed. There was tremendous amount of outcry for help all over the nation. It is in this time of need, as always, BAPS Charities opened their arms, their wallets, their compassion, their exceptional voluntary services and their hearts to the victims of this powerful Hurricane.

BAPS Charities responded immediately to take action in this catastrophic event. In no time kitchens were established to distribute hot meals to the people in Kenner, Louisiana. Shelters were opened in Jackson, MS and the surrounding areas to provide housing facilities for these victims. Volunteers made themselves available in Biloxi, Jackson, Gulfport and Houston. They worked hand in hand with Philip Capitano, the Mayor of the city of Kenner and provided all the necessary relief supplies.

In recognition and appreciation of the effort, hard work, kindness, and compassion shown by the volunteers of BAPS Charities, the Mayor of the city of Kenner issued a proclamation commending their effort.
