Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) teams respond to most disasters within the first 1-2 days. In the wake of Hurricane Francine, GEM was on the ground immediately after the storm made landfall assessing needs. Our teams are already delivering aid to distribution centers across Louisiana, providing critical relief to communities impacted by the hurricane. Today, GEM delivered multiple pallets of supplies to the New Orleans Convention Center, where they will be distributed starting tomorrow for a one day event called, The Big Health Expo presented by the Urban League of Louisana.
GEM also made a delivery in Houma, Louisiana, where the Terrebonne Civic Center will be distributing disaster relief at their Multi-Agency Resource Center. Food and supplies are now available for pickup with many residents in this parish still without power.
Additionally, GEM has delivered a pallet of water and tarps to the Bayou Dularge Fire Station to support their upcoming distributions for local residents. This is the same station GEM partnered with following Hurricane Ida in 2021.
