Gardere Initiative is now the Red Cross in Gardere!

We are excited to announce our new partnership with the American Red Cross Capital-West Chapter.

In the event of an emergency, Gardere Initiative will be a place for the Gardere community to come and access expanded resources.

Through this partnership, the Red Cross is also providing laptops, tablets, a solar-powered generator to help us keep the lights on during bad weather, and free CPR training for 50 local youth and staff.

“For so long this community did not have the best reputation. And so now they can see this. We are a part of the Baton Rouge community and people care about us and people who live here.” — Dr. Murelle Harrison

Thank you to the American Red Cross for investing in Gardere and to WAFB for sharing the story!

Nine Quail Cabinetry & Woodworking finished the job with participants by completely refinishing the two benches near the basketball court. Participants developed construction skills while contributing to the community.

This is the true representation of our future generations, our society, our culture, and our world.
