Help fight hunger in Louisiana over the holidays! State funding to our local food banks has just been cut and the cupboards are bare!

We are collecting food for the Community Center of St. Bernard's Thanksgiving baskets at various drop off locations. CCSTB serves the Lower 9th Ward, Arabi and beyond.

You can already drop off donations for our food drive at these locations (more to be added over the week):

Cold Stone Creamery

624 S. Carrollton Avenue 70118

Snake and Jakes Christmas Club

It would also be a great help if you could organize your family, your office, your church, your school or your neighborhood to make canned food donations.

They are in need of non-perishable staples like beans, rice, peanut butter, tuna fish, pasta, oatmeal, canned fruit juice, canned tomatoes, cereal, evaporated milk etc.

For more information of what items are desired, contact Bethany Garfield at mustardseed@ccstb.org.
