WHAT WE’RE ABOUT:
New Orleans is a city that loves to celebrate – we can create a celebration out of just about anything. Yes, we were recently devastated by Hurricane Katrina, but we have learned that God gives all of us the power to turn bad things into blessings. As we rebuild our city, we are excited about the opportunity to change New Orleans and the entire metro area into a city that reflects the love and glory of Jesus Christ. One way we are going to accomplish this is to reach out to people who are hurting and suffering in our community. We want to Celebrate our Blessings by sharing them with others.
WHO AND HOW DO WE SERVE?
First and foremost, we serve Jesus Christ. But we also exist to serve the homeless, the hungry, the hurting and the poor in our community. We serve not only by providing meals and other things, but also by loving and forming relationships
