SPECIAL PROJECTS/ACTIVITIES
To celebrate a special day:
- Monthly Birthday Party: Cake & ice cream for children in shelter setting.
- Candy Baskets/Bags: For Easter or Halloween.
- King Cake Party
- Gift Cards are always welcome!
We request that out-of-town donors do not ship items. Gift cards are much more cost-effective to send, and empowers our clients to shop and select gifts for their family.
As our families and individuals are rebuilding, we will accept only NEW toys, clothing, household goods.
Due to limited resources, we are unable to pick up donations or gifts. Delivery can be made either to the program or the main office at 1000 Howard Avenue. We respect the confidentiality of our clients and are unable to grant permission for you to deliver to or to meet them directly.
Please email volunteer@archdiocese-no.org or call (504) 310-6961 if you have any questions. |
