Who We Serve
In accordance with Federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy, this institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability, religion, sex, and familial status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.)
To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (800) 795-3272 (voice) or (202) 720-6382 (TDD).
We serve all community members within our 8-parish service area.
The support of the police juries in each of these 8 parishes is crucial to our success. Many of these police juries nominate a Trailblazer R C & D Board of Directors member, also. The links below provide access to the websites of the police juries which are so crucial to our success.
