How to Help with Hurricane Laura Relief
Brazoria County and the Gulf Coast Baptist Association were spared the impact of Hurricane Laura, but our friends in the Golden Triangle area of Texas and in the Lake Charles, Louisiana area are in desperate need of our help. The immediate needs are money and essential supplies.
Give Financially
The quickest and best way to give is to donate directly online to the Carey Baptist Association in Lake Charles, LA. 100% of what you give will go to those needing help in Loiuisiana.
You can also give to our Southern Baptist Disaster Response teams who are deployed to the areas impacted by Hurricane Laura:

GCBA is also collecting disaster relief money. 100% of what you send will go to help those in need who were affected by Hurricane Laura in the Golden Triangle Baptist Network area, the Carey Baptist Association area, or some other area of Southeast Texas or Louisiana. You can send checks to GCBA, 2700 E. Hwy 35, Angleton, TX 77515. Be sure to mark your check with “Hurricane Laura Relief.”
