Bristol Township Senior Center, in conjunction with our local Parks and Recreation department, will be hosting our “Bristol Township Fall Festival" on Friday, September 20 and Saturday, September 21, 2019. Our Fall Festival Health Fair on Friday offers important free health screenings and information to the 50+ senior community. Then our intergenerational Fall Festival on Saturday brings all ages together to celebrate the beginning of fall with healthy and fun activities. We provide scarecrow making workshops, various fall craft activities, games, food, entertainment and more during the fall festival. This is in addition to the bounce houses, hayrides, entertainment and other activities offered in conjunction with our local parks and recreation. This year, Bristol Township is widely expanding recreational opportunities for all ages. Construction in the municipal complex, in which we are located, has been ongoing since February. The 2019 Fall Festival is of particular importance to our center, as we have had to cancel some major fundraisers and lost income due to construction. The good news is we will be celebrating the project nearing completion during the two day event and introducing new activities that will be offered once the project is completed in early October. Bristol Township Senior Center offers important services, including Meals on Wheels deliveries, innovative health promotion programs, a wide variety of services, creative programs and also socialization to prevent isolation. In addition, we offer a wide variety of intergenerational opportunities that puts our senior’s wisdom, skills and experience to work in the community.

This is a fundraiser for United Way of Southwest Louisiana in Lake Charles, La. Funds are used in human services programs in a five parish area. Southwest Louisiana includes the parishes of Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron and Jefferson Davis. 50% of the population live below the threshold where basic necessities are a daily struggle. Our helpline's top three calls are for utilities, shelter and food.

Before the direct hits from Hurricane Laura on August 27 and Hurricane Delta on October 9 devastated the community, United Way of Southwest Louisiana's pandemic response had served over 245,000 community members. Denise Durel, president and CEO, and her experienced team's quick response had allowed families to stay in their homes and keep food on their tables. Still, they all now shared in a new threat.

Fifty percent of Southwest Louisiana lives in a tenuous month-to-month financial situation that makes preparation for hurricane season and even evacuation difficult or impossible. Denise Durel and her team were busy filling buses with evacuees, answering calls and posting the latest news on social media. By August 28th, they had the first relief supply center running. They were distributing donated diesel to fuel vehicles and generators. Their photography was the first many evacuees were seeing online.

The Hurricane Relief Center, run by Durel's team under a tent in a church parking lot, served 378,114 hurricane victims before closing in November. United Way of Southwest Louisiana served Thanksgiving and Christmas meals by the thousands and gave out over 7,250 toys to children during the holiday season.

The new year brought hope, even without a federal supplemental disaster aid package for Southwest Louisiana. Denise Durel and her team supplied over 180 tons of brand new furniture donated by a major online retailer to working families sleeping on air mattresses. February brought winter storm Uri, and recent storms have exacerbated that damage until some residents are on the third round of gutting their home. Southwest Louisiana has now endured five federally declared natural disasters in ten months.
United Way of Southwest Louisiana is leading the charge to rebuild and recover with multiple avenues of attack. Community members needing assistance use the 211 information and referral line to request help with anything from debris removal, childcare or utility bills.

United Way of Southwest Louisiana, with Denise Durel at the helm, coordinates incoming volunteer groups, giving them access to case-worked residents needing aid. This professional division of efforts ensures communication between all agencies. The most significant need is gutting of sheetrock, removing flooring, debris from yards and hauling of large trees.

The other focus of Durel's team is assisting homeowners with FEMA Appeals. United Way volunteers help respond to an assortment of requests from the federal agency, easing many homeowners' anxiety, some without access to fax or email. Homeowners call 211 to request an appointment.

Mental health for local community members after all of the trauma is something United Way of Southwest Louisiana is pushing to the forefront of every discussion. The storms added a layer to the pandemic, and anxiety or depression has become common. United Way has many ways to offer free help between online Crisis Chat, Teen Texting, 211 call transfers or a funded partner agency.

As hurricane season kicks off this week, Denise Durel's United Way of Southwest Louisiana prepares once again by prepping the building damaged by hurricanes, winter storms and recent flooding. All equipment is secured and air mattresses have been ordered. The fear is not for themselves but the unrepaired homes local families are living in. Many families fear they have been forgotten.

Any individual, group, nonprofit or business with time, materials or a financial gift to offer can contact United Way of Southwest Louisiana. There is no gift too small. The collective impact from all of us will drive the rebuilding process and give hope to those struggling.

Volunteer Information:
Corporate volunteer request:
We would like to invite a corporate volunteer group to assist Project Vision Hawaii’s EyeBall fundraiser to facilitate the check-in Registration table volunteers.

Once check-in is done, Microsoft volunteers might transition to another volunteer position such as the live auction- this is always an exciting role! Additional Request: Project Vision Hawaii would like to request for any available computers, devices, payment systems or software to be donated to on behalf of the corporate organization to assist the cashier, registration and check-in table during the event.
