We will have our partner Swegs Kitchen call you and set up a convenient time for delivery. As funding permits, we try to accommodate each qualified family for meals for three to four weeks to give caregivers a break from meal preparation. To learn more and sign up,

Louisiana's Traumatic Head & Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund Program
The Traumatic Head and Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund (THSCI) was created by the Louisiana Legislature in 1993 with Act 654, which imposes additional fees on motor vehicle violations in Louisiana for the offenses of driving under the influence, reckless operation, and speeding. These fees provide the funds for this program.
Louisiana's Traumatic Head & Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund Program provides services in a flexible, individualized manner to Louisiana citizens with traumatic head or traumatic spinal cord injuries.The program enables individuals to return to a reasonable level of functioning and independent living in their communities.
