Serving of Rena’s Famous Red Beans and Rice Plates is now underway in the green space across from City Hall, part of the Biloxi Police Department’s fund-raising efforts to help
Indiana State Police officers who lost their homes and belongings in deadly tornadoes this summer.
The lunch plates – which include red beans and rice, sausage, bread, and a choice of tea, lemonade, or water — are $5 each and are available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Tables and chairs have been set up across from City Hall, or diners can pick up to-go orders.
The Biloxi officers, who also conducted a family fun day Sunday on the Town Green, undertook the fund-raising efforts to help Indiana officers who assisted Biloxi in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. More than a hundred Indiana officers were in Biloxi for weeks after the storm, helping patrol city streets and even helping Biloxi officers rebuild their homes in their off hours.
