Cleco employees prepare and serve lunch at St. Joseph Diner

Today, a group of Cleco employees prepared and served lunch at St. Joseph Diner in Lafayette, as part of the company's Done in a Day program. St. Joseph Diner is a program of Catholic Charities of Acadiana that provides free, freshly cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week to those experiencing hunger.

Through the Done in a Day program, Cleco employees volunteer with Louisiana nonprofits or other areas of the community in need who request assistance with a project that can be completed in one day or a few hours.

Cleco employees prepared and served meal trays, washed dishes and sanitized the kitchen as part of their service work.

"Our employees are always eager to lend a hand to our local nonprofits," said Brooke Buford, Done in a Day program coordinator at Cleco. "Serving at St. Joseph Diner was a great way to spend the lunch hour with our Acadiana community."
