New in 2026: Makin’ Groceries 2.0

In January, due to increased food insecurity, we re-started the pandemic era Makin’ Groceries program. Led by musician and culture bearer Arsène DeLay, this program provides weekly deliveries of a curated selection of healthy foods to elders in the cultural community. We currently serve just under 40 households per week and hope to triple that number by the end of the year.

Watch WWL’s coverage of the program here.

We collaborate with, organize, and build the civic capacity of the New Orleans music and cultural community to preserve and nurture the city’s culture, to translate community vision into policy, and to create a more just and equitable city and region.
