Thanksgiving Baskets

On November 19 and 20,
the Venice Port Complex
(VPC) organized its 3rd
annual Thanksgiving gift
basket drive to provide
support to residents of
South Plaquemines. The
drive provided 200
families in South
Plaquemines with a
Thanksgiving basket that
included a turkey and
all the fixings for a
traditional holiday
meal. The VPC, VPC
tenants, local
businesses, and
residents gave
contributions and
assisted in the delivery
of the baskets to area
residents. Recipient
names were provided from
several churches,
schools and charitable
institutions that
represent the area.
“Plaquemines is so
special because of the
wonderful people that
make up this
community—that is why
during the holidays it
is important to give
back to those who are in
need. The donations
given by our tenants and
business friends speak
volumes about the spirit
of Plaquemines Parish,”
