WHAT WE DO:
From Saturday Feb 10th thru Fat Tuesday we sponsor and serve at the 1st district NOPD station:
3 hot and plentiful breakfasts, 2 hot lunches, 3 nights of pizza and salad, 4 days of abundant grab and go snacks, fruit and coffee
We serve the 62 1st District Officers plus the 20+ Sheriffs and State Police that are assigned to 1st district parade detail and assist in protecting our district.
These men and women are exhausted after working 12 -16 hour shifts throughout carnival. It is great to see the officers perk up with a big plate of breakfast or a hot lunch and to have the opportunity to grab a good quality snack to have later on the parade route or shift. We are always amazed at their good spirits and resilience and their diligence in keeping everyone safe throughout the Carnival week. We are delighted to serve them all!
We do this with a lot of support from Deutsches Haus volunteers and donations from Parkway, the Fair Grounds, Blue Oak and our neighborhood businesses and members!
Please consider making a donation this year--donations of money, goods and your time really help!
You could sponsor one night of Pizza and salads for the 3 night shifts ($225)
