The generosity of the American public can never be questioned. And in recent years, the state of Louisiana has been a major benefactor of that generosity. While many have given money and other resources, thousands of Americans have spent their vacations, spring breaks, church missions, and senior trips volunteering their time to help rebuild Louisiana.

The Louisiana Family Recovery Corps encourages those inside and outside of the state to consider volunteering their time in helping to rebuild our wonderful state. From the history and heritage to the accents and architecture, Louisiana is a unique treasure of the United States. Those who give their time typically end up doing so more than once, as they fall in love with Louisiana's food, fervor, and frivolity.

The Recovery Corps appreciates the outstanding commitment made by those offering their time to rebuild Louisiana. There are many outstanding organizations throughout the state that offer terrific programs for those looking to spend a day, a week, or a lifetime volunteering. The Louisiana Serve Commission, through the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, serves as the state's organizer of volunteers and seeks to harness the desire to help by matching the needs of community service organizations with volunteers and their unique skills.

For those wishing to volunteer in Louisiana, we suggest you visit VolunteerLouisiana.gov, where potential volunteers can match their skills and interests with volunteer opportunities within the state that will be mutually rewarding.
