significant changes in their
lives and in their own
neighborhoods. The Friendship
House strategy places staff in
homes in vulnerable
neighborhoods to infuse the
neighborhood with initiatives
and resources that will restore
hope and bring new opportunities

New Orleans,

Children and families facing
food and financial hardship are
less likely to have a healthy
diet or understand the links
between diet and health.
Louisiana has high rates of
chronic disease and diet-related
illnesses like diabetes and
obesity that could be diminished
or even eradicated with healthy,
nutrient-dense foods. Second
Harvest has been addressing this
issue through comprehensive
nutrition education for more
than a decade, and this year we
are looking to expand those
efforts even further. |

Way Maker Ministries |
|
Harvey,
Louisiana / $15,000 |
|
|
Way Maker Ministries is
attentive to all needs of those
we serve. After leaving the
program and moving on to
individual living options, there
was often no structure in their
daily routine and no guidance to
move forward in their life. The
Cottage is a logical and cost
effective approach to providing
comprehensive services to those
who need housing assistance.
This project will increase the
annual number women and children
served and provide more meals to
food-insecure homeless persons
across the Metro New Orleans
region. |
