Centerville Fire Department
We recently provided a grant through the Cabot Foundation for approximately $40,000 to help the Centerville Volunteer Fire Department purchase much needed equipment.
The fire department was operating 25 plus year old extrication tools and with the new tools they can extricate patients/victims quicker so they can receive medical care in a timely fashion. The Centerville Volunteer Fire Department provides fire protection and emergency response services to the surrounding local communities and operates as the first responder for our Canal plant emergency events.

Throughout the week, more than 2,500 high school students, teachers, counselors, parents, industry experts, exhibitors, and leaders as well as UL Lafayette students, faculty, staff, alumni, and administration participated in the week’s activities.
100 Blackmen of St. Mary Parish Partnership
We recently partnered with our Black Employees and Allies United (BEAU) Employee Resource Group to secure a $10,000 grant for 100 Blackmen of St. Mary Parish.
