New Orleans Outreach
Family Serve strengthens communities in New Orleans by maintaining a longstanding relationship of support and fellowship. We have traveled to New Orleans in the Family Serve RV for the past 17 years, and with the help of many local volunteers, we prepare and serve a free Thanksgiving meal to the 9th Ward community. We also hold many outreach events including food distributions, carnivals, sports events, arts and crafts and other youth activities. We also provide gun locks and other resources to keep the neighborhood peaceful and safe and we partner with local churches and other nonprofits who are strengthening the community.
Thanksgiving Meals
This outreach started over fifteen years ago after Hurricane Katrina when we traveled to New Orleans to help victims in many ways, including gutting their houses. Lunch at “The Spot” in the 9th ward brought us together with Kim Stewart and her family and the Thanksgiving meal was birthed. We work throughout the year to build community in this area of great need.
