Help pets

The West Feliciana Animal Humane Society shelter is in need of additional volunteers. On Facebook, he said the shelter needed people who could fit the shelter into their weekly schedule and work 9 a.m. to noon or noon to 4 p.m. The refuge is open seven days a week.

“The job can be dirty, but it’s for a good cause,” the group said in its post.

Broadband research in progress

West Feliciana Parish is asking residents of the parish to use the speed test at https://dra.gov/research/broadband-mapping/#speedtest as often as possible.

This will provide an accurate representation of broadband financing. Data is collected on your broadband connection speed and used for a parish map to obtain grants and other support to improve broadband in our community.

Visit http://expressoptimizer.net/projects/DRA/speedtestmap.html to see what speeds have already been reported in the area.

People from other parishes can also participate in the speed tests.
