On June 13, our volunteers set out with determination to serve local law enforcement and military families through a variety of home improvement projects. This special day of service exists to honor our late friend and teammate, Pastor Scott Brantingham. As a Marine, Scott had a deep love and appreciation for those who serve our communities and our country, and he was passionate about finding ways to support them. In honor of his legacy, Love Acadiana launched Handyman for Heroes, a serve day dedicated to caring for these deserving families.
Together, our teams worked in yards, trimmed shrubs, hung flags, screened a patio, installed handrails, rebuilt a front porch, and even repositioned a backyard shed. In three parishes we were able to complete nineteen projects, five work sites and make lots of new friends.
Thank you to the dozens of volunteers who participated. Thank you, veterans and law enforcement officers, for your service!
And thank you to the project supporters who helped make it possible, including Watson Wealth Management, State Representative Annie Spell, Frank Dean Authentic Tree Service, State Representative Beau Beaullieu, and Manuel Builders.
