BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) -- Volunteers with the Oklahoma Baptist General Convention are cooking hot meals for hurricane victims in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Convention volunteer Mark Smith says the group cooked about 3,500 lunches Saturday with their mobile kitchen.

Smith says they set up at a local church and are cooking food and packing it up for distribution. He says they are giving out large quantities of meals that evacuees can take to others.

Smith says evacuees are staying in churches, schools and homes.
