Islamic Relief Humanitarian Day Baton Rouge Louisiana October 15th 2006/Katrina

Islamic Relief's Humanitarian Day in Baton Rouge Louisiana on October 15th 2006 documented the feeding of the poor with a mix of diverse and colorful Muslims and non-Muslim alike with the goal of giving back to humanity. Those affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita received bedroom kits and kitchen kits from the people of Saudi Arabia donated to the United States Government, food from the Second Harvest Food Bank was distributed to the people of Baton Rouge and hygiene kits from the Mormon Church of Latter day Saints was received by all the recipients. The Cajun cooking served was devoured at the same event that took place in New Orleans on the 14th of October, congratulated by Mayor C. Ray Nagin and other city officials. Islamic Relief was recognized at that event for its “outstanding service to the Citizens and the City of New Orleans following hurricanes Katrina and their work in Bringing Back New Orleans"
