WLC Ronald McDonald Fundraiser – New Orleans

The Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation is concerned about your safety and well being. That is why during this time of concern over transmission of COVID-19, the Ronald McDonald House visits scheduled for April 24 and April 28 respectively have been cancelled. The state office is still collecting monetary donations as usual in an effort to provide the homes with the necessary supplies to continue to support the families in need. We regret any inconvenience this may cause, but, again, your safety and well-being are paramount. We thank you for your understanding and look forward to getting back together with our Farm Bureau Family once officials deem it safe to do so.
