Lake Charles Disaster Relief - Hurricane Laura

Donation protected
Citizens, Inc. & Security Plan - Donate to Hurricane Laura Victims in Lake Charles

On August 27, 2020, Hurricane Laura completely decimated Lake Charles, Louisiana.  Strong winds and heavy rain damaged hundreds of properties and forced residents to flee their homes.

Our thoughts to those affected by the devastation and its aftermath. Like many of you, we all have direct connections to the communities recently affected by natural disasters. To make a difference in the lives of the employees and independent agents impacted, we set up a GoFundMe campaign to help raise funds. We have 5 employees and 17 independent agents that were impacted and displaced due to the disaster. Your participation in this fundraiser will help those in need during this difficult time.

Additionally, Citizens Inc. and Security Plan are planning to make a $5,000 donation and provide a company match up to $5,000 for any employee contributions made towards this relief fund. All funds raised will be distributed to the employees and independent agents impacted.


Why donate… Lake Charles residents were told they would be without water for up to 60 days. Electricity will hopefully be restored in 4-6 weeks. Over 97% of schools, university and community colleges were destroyed. Fire departments, police stations, jails and hospitals were damaged. Every neighborhood suffered physical damage. The water plants are inoperable, one completely leveled. The power grids suffered immeasurable damage. Many if not all of medical facilities were damaged and inoperable with no water or electricity.  People consider themselves lucky to be alive and fortunate to salvage a few personal items from the rubble that was once their home. 

Let’s come together as Citizens and Security Plan and to help make an impact in Lake Charles.

Thank you so kindly for your support!
