WVUE, Raycom’s Fox affiliate in New Orleans, is conducting an all-day fundraiser today to help the Red Cross provide services for those affected by flooding in Louisiana.
After a week of historic rain, widespread flooding continues in many areas, roads are still closed, and hundreds are displaced.
“It’s not only our duty as broadcasters to make sure our viewers are safe, either by warning them early of dangerous weather or keeping them informed as those storms move through our area, but after the storm passes, it is also our duty to help those around us who have been affected,” said Tim Ingram, WVUE’s general manager.
“We feel we can be the most effective by raising funds for the American Red Cross.”
WVUE is being joined by iHeart Radio New Orleans and several other Raycom TV stations in Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee.
To donate, visit FOX8Live.com/FloodRelief or text Flood to 88008.
The Raycom stations participating in addition to WVUE include, WAFB, Baton Rouge; KPLC, Lake Charles; KSLA, Shreveport; WDAM, Hattiesburg; WLOX, Biloxi; and WMC, Memphis.
