EBR Congregation Assessment: Who is Doing What?

Welcome!

THANK YOU for your congregation's presence in our community. East Baton Rouge Parish benefits greatly from people of faith and goodwill who respond to the needs of our community routinely and in times of disaster or emergency.

We need your help to make those efforts even more effective. We want to ensure that we know what resources are available and where gaps exist. We also want to connect congregations to training. So we're asking you to share some information about what your congregation is doing.

PLEASE NOTE: We ask that only one individual in each congregation complete this assessment.

If you have any questions, please contact the Interfaith Federation by email (info@ifedgbr.com) or phone (225.267.5600).

Sincerely,
Rev. Robin McCullough-Bade
Director, Interfaith Federation of Greater Baton Rouge
