Through the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans, the Jewish community is partnering with Tulane Medical School students for a holiday food drive for CrescentCare, a New Orleans clinic that offers comprehensive health and wellness services to the community, advocates for empowerment, safeguards the rights and dignity of individuals, and provides for the public. Through the clinic’s New Orleans Children’s Health Project, your donations will support patients and their families, many of who are in a state of food insecurity that has significantly worsened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Donations will be accepted in the lobbies of the Uptown JCC's Goldring Woldenberg Sports and Wellness Complex and Metairie's Goldring-Woldenberg JCC until November 30. While all donations are appreciated and gratefully accepted, here is a list of their requested items:
