Hurricane Francine struck the ground in Terrebonne Parish as a Category 2 storm and quickly knocked out power for many, but a new community project kept lights on. The Community Lighthouse Project is a network of churches and community institutions across New Orleans equipped with solar panels and battery reserves to provide the community with power and shelter during extreme weather. The Lighthouse Project is a facet of Together Louisiana, a grassroots organization providing community and religious organizations with a network of other organizations to work together to improve their surrounding communities.
