Who We Are
Bayou Community Foundation is the only charitable foundation solely focused on building and sustaining the communities of Lafourche Parish, Terrebonne Parish, and Grand Isle.
We had an amazing day yesterday on Grand Isle with our #rebuildgrandisle donors! We visited homes being repaired and three new homes now under construction for island residents who lost it all in Hurricane Ida. Most importantly, we had a chance to talk with these residents and our generous building volunteers, and hear their inspiring stories of survival, compassion for fellow man, and love for this precious island community. What a day it was! Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux Greater New Orleans Foundation United Way of Southeast Louisiana
