The recent storms that unleashed straight-line winds of up to 100 mph, tornadoes and torrential rain across our community have devastated roadways, flattened trees, and knocked out electricity for over 30,000 county residents. Many people have lost all of their food, gasoline, and other essential supplies. The longstanding challenges of rising prices and economic hardships have left many in La Porte County with no resources left to feed themselves and their families following this most recent disaster.
