The Diocese of Lafayette: Total effort, divided among parishes, some accepting donations, many serving as shelters.

The clearinghouse page for the Diocese of Baton Rouge

All are accepting donations of any kind – of particular need are personal items, baby items, and large-size clothing, it seems.

From a Glenmary priest in Arkansas – his area has seen 1500 refugees arriving, and he’s had to add Masses.
