Fournette, who was born in New Orleans and played football at LSU, is planning to supply food, clothing, medical supplies and blankets to residents. He is teaming up with Cajun Navy Relief and Rescue, Second Harvest Food Bank, All Hands and Hearts, The St. Bernard Project and Direct Relief in the effort.
Hurricane Ida hit Louisiana as a Category 4 storm this week, causing massive amounts of damage in New Orleans and leaving the entire city without power.
New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said Tuesday that the team is not expected back in the city for at least a month as relief efforts are ongoing.
