Gladewaves

Our Story

Gladewaves was formed to provide direct aid to those in need, embodying the mantra of 'boots on the ground.' With a dedicated team of skilled staff and a proactive Board of Directors, Gladewaves is committed to delivering essential resources to the Greater New Orleans area. Each team member is well-versed in our programming, enhancing our effectiveness and impact.

Impact

In Orleans Parish, over 87,170 individuals face food insecurity, and 52% of households struggle to afford basic living expenses. Alarmingly, 39% of children live in poverty, and social isolation among older adults significantly increases their risk of dementia.

Why Donate?

Your contributions directly support Gladewaves' initiatives, such as the Big Red Box Program and Senior Outreach Program, which combat food insecurity and enhance community well-being.

Join the Cause

Participate in our fall fundraiser, Pantry Palooza, featuring music, cocktails, and exciting auctions. Every donation, whether cash or cryptocurrency, helps Gladewaves continue its vital work in the Metro New Orleans area. Together, we can make a difference!
