BATON ROUGE (WGNO) – Victims of the severe flooding that swept across south Louisiana in early August can shop for free at the Cortana Mall from October 27-30.
The Red Stick Retail Shop, presented by State Representative Ted James and the Urban League, is open to anyone that was displaced by the historic flooding and has a letter from the Federal Emergency Management Agency proving it.
Qualified shoppers will be able to pick up clothes, bedding, toys, household items, and more that have been donated by brands including Ralph Lauren, Free People, and Sketchers.
Rep. James, a Democrat who represents East Baton Rouge Parish, partnered with the Urban League of Louisiana for the program, which has had an overwhelming response so far, according to the Urban League’s website.
Kids Fashion Delivers, the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, and the Louisiana Workforce Commission are also partners for the event.
