We are out of money to continue distributing food for May!
We're proud of what we've accomplished already, but if we can pull together the funding, we'd love to keep the good work going!
In the month of April, we began with a goal of 20 food boxes a week and wound up serving a total of 185 fresh food boxes and Home cooked meals!
All was prepared and delivered by a team of over 20 volunteers, and funded by generous donations often in increments of 5 and 10 dollars. We were able to provide healthy food, safety, and the love that comes with knowing you're cared about, to community members with cancer, aids, compromised immune systems, physical disabilities, homelessness, and financial insecurity due to covid.
As we continue to reach out to businesses and grants (thank you BigEasy Bucha, Jazzmen Rice, and Aetna for your in kind donations!), we ask for your help in bridging the next few weeks. Our current food list is 121 community members and families, and we expect it to soon be over 200. We project we'll need 8,000 dollars to continue through all of May, but even 5 or 10 dollars helps!
Join us if you feel the call, contribute your time or money, and let's show how New Orleans pulls together in the face of hardship.

Special thanks to Dr. Ansel Augustine from our Advisory Board, coordinating from D.C. to help us get our food boxes to those who need it on the Westbank and New Orleans East.

Much love and health to everyone in these unexpected times.
Beloved NOLA is a cross cultural alliance of community leaders from across the spectrums of faiths, ancestry, and culture. We all share the belief that this journey around the sun looks different for everyone, and its by working together that we can help more people, in more ways.
Our Advisory Board runs the gamut from Methodist Ministers to Mardi Gras Indian Chiefs and Medicine Women, to Buddhists and even secular leaders of spirituality and community. In the healing of our peoples and this planet, we raise the funding and offer organizational support to the many ongoing projects of our advisory board, and help joint efforts such as summer camps, food initiatives, festivals, retreat centers, support groups, community centers, and more, all come together.
In this time of COVID, we are demonstrating the power of the people by coming together to deliver fresh and healthy food boxes to community members in need. We are also offering support and collaboration to other non profits, by connecting NOLA Wesley’s Labyrinth community space and to Familias Unidas, to provide the space out of which they are now serving hundreds of undocumented workers and their families every week.
We’re also spreading education and awareness to help connect artists, self-employed, and minority communities to the federal stimulus money they may not know they qualify for. And we’re creating jobs for those very same communities to make it all happen.
Under this new initiative, every 15 dollars you donate translates to another person receiving a stimulus check or federal unemployment they wouldn’t have registered otherwise. That means your 15 dollar donations are translating to an extra 1,200 to 10,000 of federal stimulus money to many of your neighbors who don’t meet the minimum income to file taxes or even regularly use bank accounts
