Sending a big thank you to the members of the Rotary Club of Metairie for serving breakfast with us this morning! With their help, we provided a full, hot meal for over 200 people experiencing homelessness.

Thank you to those who volunteered this morning; your compassion and dedication to service truly shows! 💚

Hi all! We are in need of a cooler to help us distribute water bottles to individuals experiencing homelessness. The Igloo cooler we need is linked in our Amazon wishlist. Thank you for helping to keep our community hydrated!

We have absolutely loved having the members of Bad Moms That Dance volunteer with us twice a week at breakfast throughout August! Our guests and staff have been so grateful for all of the love and light they’ve brought to the dining room.

Thank you, ladies, for all of your hard work in service of our neighbors experiencing homelessness, and for always showing up with warm hearts and positive attitudes! 💚

Thank you so much to our friends at the VA for coming in once a month to serve breakfast with us! You all bring such an uplifting energy that is truly contagious.

These folks are always ready to lend a hand wherever it’s needed most. Today, they handed out cooling towels and reusable water bottles to help our unhoused friends stay hydrated and cool in the August heat.

We can’t thank our VA volunteers enough for all they do for our community. See you next month!

This summer we had the pleasure of hosting a Tulane student through their WaveCorps program! Adrienne was such a pleasure to have and a HUGE help during our breakfast service.

Thank you to Tulane University Center for Public Service for arranging this opportunity, we are so grateful.

Adrienne brought a great attitude to our early mornings and was focused on client-facing services, including:

🌟Preparing and handing out hygiene kits
🌟Assisting clients during our Meals with Love programming

Thank you again to Tulane and Adrienne for being partners in our mission. 💚

Have you ever wondered what happens when someone misses our breakfast service?

We keep snacks on hand for various reason, one of which is to give them out to people who miss breakfast. This past week we ran out of snacks and are asking for your help in rebuilding our supplies - thank you in advance! 💚
