Needs From: HandsOn New Orleans

We provide 60 families in need with two bags of groceries each month.  We strive to include healthy options as many of our clients have health issues.  We also provide "Blessing Bags" to the homeless several times a month.

You or your organization can do a collection at an event ("bring a can of food") or do a collection over a period of days/weeks. Collected items will need to be brought to St. Anna's. (Please call ahead to make arrangements.)
