Hammond, Louisiana | Monday, 06 September 2021 |

Hurricane Ida came ashore the Louisiana coast on August 29, 2021, with sustained winds up to 150 mph, downing trees, crushing homes and causing power outages for more than a million people. Yet, by week’s end, thousands of volunteers from throughout the region, including Helping Hands from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, were in place and helping with the recovery and restoration.
