BP Oil Disaster Relief Efforts

The brown pelican is Louisiana's state bird, only recently removed from the endangered species list. Like much of the wildlife along the Louisana coast, these birds are now in danger.

A number of community foundations in the area have established relief funds to help the people, wildlife, and environment in the Gulf Coast.

For more information, please visit:

• Baton Rouge Area Foundation
• Community Foundation of South Alabama
• Greater Escambia Community Foundation (Pensacola area)
• Greater New Orleans Foundation

Please let us know if any villagers are negatively impacted by the BP Oil Spill.
