The “Love Your Block” initiative is being funded through a $10,000 gift from Service Nation, which was established to promote volunteerism across America.
20 grants of 500 dollars each were distributed to groups throughout New Orleans.
The Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association was a recipient of one of the 500 dollar grants. The money was used for improvements at Capdeville Park in Faubourg St. John. Read about it in the link below:
