The Iberia Parish Enhancement Fund, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of Acadiana, completed its third annual grant cycle in October and awarded a total of $2,500 in November to the Social Service Center, Jacob Crouch Foundation and Iberia Parish Sports Complex Commission.

The funds will go toward a food program, a suicide prevention and awareness program for middle and high schools and a mobile watering system for the sports complex.

Additionally, the IPEF made its second grant from the Iberia Parish Oil Spill Relief Fund at CFA. The grant was more than $3,000 and was given to Second Harvest of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana to assist Iberia Parish food banks.
