WE DID IT YA'LL
over 1 million pounds of food has been distributed from our food pantry to orleans residents by us, lowernine.org and second harvest food bank! since our brick-and-mortar food pantry opened in 2020, we've given away 1 million pounds of food to neighbors. upwards of 200 households visit our pantry and take home food for the week. pantry staples often include a protein, fresh or frozen fruits, and a variety of staples like rice, beans and pasta. In Louisiana 847,100 people benefit from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) SNAP and Medicaid recipients face increasing work requirements. volunteers with lowernine.org can work with the affordable home rebuild program or in the food pantry. Second Harvest and other partners also work with volunteers meeting needs in their communities. If you believe in the importance of equitable disaster recovery and food security, please consider making a donation to lowernine.org, a 501(c)(3) organization or
Second Harvest Food Bank - Every dollar you give provides 3 nutritious meals.

COMPLETE

Vibrant and refurbished! Located in the Lower 9th Ward Holy Cross neighborhood Ms. McFaddens house was under threat of being fined by the HDLC for its “unhistoric” appearance. As elderly homeowners, the McFaddens could not do the work themselves, nor pay for contractors and painters. lowernine.org stepped in and began the long process of sanding off old paint, replacing damaged weatherboards, priming, and painting with tedious detail. Along the way we replaced the entire back deck, which was rotten, and supports the AC units and hot water heaters. Also in the back of the house, termite devoured wood threatened the structural support of the house. lowernine.org volunteers replaced the back door frames and top plate along the entire back of the house, as well as added support to several joists and studs. Once that was done, we sealed in the back of the house with brand new weatherboards and finished painting. This work would not have been possible without all the incredible individuals and groups who volunteered their time to support our neighbors!
