Connecting Resources to the People who Need Them.
What we are…
A resource network intended to connect
volunteers to organizations and with the New
Orleanians that need them.
 An advocacy group dedicated to raising the
awareness in New York about New Orleans
 Why? New Orleans community based
organizations are under-staffed and underfunded.

New Orleans based organizations by August 1, 2010.

newsletter form by August 29, 2010.
 Host monthly awareness events and gather a support
base of over 1,000 people throughout 2010.

developing our business and plan.
