Community Center of St. Bernard

The Community Center was founded in 2006 to serve local residents of St. Bernard Parish after the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina and Rita. As our center evolved, we realized our focus needed to change. In 2016, our center focused on providing food and essentials to St. Bernard Parish and Louisiana residents. Currently we operate as a food pantry for low income residents of St. Bernard and surrounding Parishes. We can accept clients from anywhere within Louisiana. Currently we serve around 120 families per month and are growing weekly.

​

Our center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, and was established to provide residents of the greater New Orleans area with the services and resources they need to rebuild their lives, their homes and their community.

We are a United Way Partner Agency as well as a Second Harvest partner agency.

Our purpose is to assist in nurturing the community of St. Bernard Parish. We also aim to create a safe, accepting community space within our Parish.

With the help of Second Harvest food distribution, we can provide St. Bernard Parish and Louisiana residents with the essentials they need to live a safe and healthy life.

We are a food pantry and also provide a backpack food program for public schools.
