Sonia St. Cyr, a 74-year-old New Orleans resident who uses an electric wheelchair, poses for a photo on July 21, 2022, outside the Broadmoor Community Church where she volunteers at a food pantry. The church is part of a program being launched to put solar panels and batteries on locations around southeastern Louisiana so they can maintain power and help people in their communities such as St. Cyr during extended power outages like the one that followed Hurricane Ida last year.
