Lafayette asks residents to change how they give to help keep roads safe
Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) said it is encouraging residents to “ Change the Way We Give ” and support trusted local organizations instead of making roadside donations. The initiative is designed to improve public safety while connecting individuals experiencing homelessness with services that provide lasting support. "Our community has a big heart, but we also have a responsibility to keep our roadways safe and connect people with the help they need. This effort is about both," Lafayette Mayor-President Monique B. Boulet said.

There are meaningful ways residents can make a lasting difference, including: Volunteer with local organizations serving individuals experiencing homelessness. Serve meals at organizations like St. Joseph Diner, helping ensure anyone experiencing food insecurity has access to a warm meal. Donate clothing,
