OPELOUSAS — The Hope Alliance Community Development Corporation is announcing they have partnered with the Community Foundation of Acadian to establish a relief fund for the victims of the April 10th tornado near Palmetto.

“Some families have lost everything. They have nothing left,” said Parish President Jessie Bellard. “Any support we can provide them will be greatly appreciated. This is what St. Landry Parish does best. We help our neighbors.”
