The Community Foundation of Acadiana has released a Giving Back Catalog that details specific needs donors can meet for 54 local nonprofit groups.

For example, donors could choose to buy a fruit tree for a community garden, purchase music books for low-income students or provide a gasoline card for a cancer patient.

The catalog offers different levels of support for each organization.

Download the catalog at http://www.cfacadiana.org/givingback or call (337) 769-4840.
