Supporting families across Louisiana with care and dedication.
How We Provide Support
Hurricane Relief
In the aftermath of Hurricanes Laura and Ida, we provided critical support to affected communities. This included distributing tents to displaced families, supplying chainsaws to cleanup crews, and ensuring families had access to essential resources. Moving forward, our goal is to provide assistance every Hurricane season.
Empowering Teens:
Mentorship connects youth facing legal issues with supportive mentors, enhancing self-esteem and guiding choices. Vocational training equips them with job skills, preparing them for successful careers and reducing legal troubles. ACT prep offers personalized resources for college opportunities and growth. Youth camps create safe spaces for life skills and friendships, promoting teamwork and confidence. Outreach programs raise awareness and provide support for those in need, inspiring positive change. Together, these efforts help at-risk youth achieve success.
Family Support Services
Our holiday assistance program brings joy to families in need. Every Thanksgiving, we distribute over 100 turkeys for hearty meals that foster community and gratitude. At Christmas, we provide clothing and toys to brighten the season for children and families. Additionally, our financial literacy classes empower participants with skills for effective money management, helping them build a secure future. This holistic approach ensures we offer immediate relief and support long-term stability for the families we serve.
