Thanks to our partnership with Revolution Foods, The New Orleans Culinary & Hospitality Institute (NOCHI), and D’Livery NOLA, we were able to secure over $30 million in grants from FEMA and the City of New Orleans to feed our neighbors across Orleans Parish – while injecting badly needed funds into our culinary industry.
Lasting almost a year to the day, local restaurants created over 3.5 million healthy, original meals feeding 24,000 New Orleanians in this one of a kind program, while creating several hundred jobs in a time when employment opportunities were at their lowest point in the pandemic.
