A passion for helping families in need.
Our goal is to feed underserved communities in our city, which is culturally known for some of the best cuisine in the world. Unfortunately, the disparity we are seeing is some of our hardest working citizens still can’t bring home enough to keep families fed. We find this to be unacceptable. One in three New Orleans families are currently facing food insecurity.
This summer, we are focusing on kids who rely on the free/reduced school lunches during the school year, and supplementing as many meals as we can while they are out of classes for the summer break. We have delivery drivers signed up to deliver meals directly to those who’ve expressed need, and will be dropping off on Tuesdays and Fridays every week. Cold sandwiches, meals ready to heat, as well as shelf stable snacks, fruits and veggies will all be included in our drop-offs weekly. We need help to accomplish this undertaking! Our food-safe certified staff at our restaurant (Toups Meatery) are preparing and assembling all meals, but we need donations to cover the cost of ingredients. Everything we raise is going directly to ensuring the kids who are being raised in the Big Easy are satiated and happy.
“You can read about hardship, but when you’re standing in front of a mother saying thank you for doing this and you really understand their situation and their need, it moves you.”
“We have the infrastructure, we know how to do this. We have to do it.”
