Collective Effort from Chaffe McCall Professionals
Posted on Monday, August 29th, 2016 | Posted in Acknowledgements & Press ReleasesBATON ROUGE, LA (August 29, 2016) – On this, the eleventh anniversary of Katrina, as we reflect back on our own challenges faced and loses suffered during that catastrophic event, it is heartwarming to know that when others faced similar struggles and needed help, Chaffe McCall and its wonderful extended family answered the call and were there to give back.
In a campaign whose roots were born of Katrina, Chaffe McCall was able to collect items and raise over $3,000 to help families affected by the historic flooding in Louisiana. In addition, on Saturday, August 27th, over 30 Chaffe McCall volunteers supplied the man (and woman) power to help a Denham Springs family who had over eight feet of water in their house. The family of 4 with two young boys (ages 2 and 4), were only able to bring two suit cases with them when they were forced to evacuate their home. The determination and incredible effort from Chaff McCall was truly remarkable. The overwhelming job of clearing the house of refuse, initially borne by two members of the family, was made into a one-day job. “We wish to thank everyone for their hard work and cheerful smiles in helping to restore not only the family’s home but to help them to restart their lives. We all have been there before and know how much just knowing you are not alone can work miracles in your life,” said E. Howell Crosby, Firm Managing Partner.
