My volunteering consists within the realms of artistry and creating beautiful rain barrels. Learning so much about water conservation, the importance of stepping up as a human and what my small effort can do to educate others and provide sustainability for future generations. Love working with Jillian, Jude, Andreas, Michael, Toby and the others (still learning names....) Look forward to a beautiful relationship with Green Light and their passion.

They serve the Greater New Orleans area with free seeds, gardens, and light bulbs. All this for free and to serve the community at large! They even offer free classes to ensure you're not going to kill your plants! They come to your house and build a raised garden! And fill it with FOOD! What more do you need?! I can't believe more people aren't knocking down their door! I just grabbed more seeds than I've ever seen at Home Depot! And already scheduled my appointment for a garden!

Well this turned out to be an outstanding evening. I always…read moreenjoy an event where we can bring friends and or family. In my opinion there isn't enough of them. Nothing better than an event that also benefits a charity. I brought my son, Jack along with me on this fine evening. After everyone lingered in, we were treated to a tour of the facility. I understood the concept of resale, but the behind the scenes tour brought it to a whole new level. The hugely daunting task of sorting is left to staff of arc and a never ending stream of volunteers whom sort and prep beads and throws for resale. Arc had developed a method that when put to the task, we found ourselves in a zen motion of sorting. Between specialty beads, Krewe beads and longs, we enjoyed pizza, snacks, and beverages. The best part about ARC is the countless jobs and benefits that it is able to provide to so many individuals who might otherwise not able to find gainful employment. My son and I really enjoyed ourselves and plan to come back and help again. If you find yourself riding someday in a magical mardi gras parade, please consider buying your throws from ARC. Maybe you'll look down upon me as I scream "Throw me something mister!"

What a great experience! I made a decision to do more volunteering this year so of course when this…read moreopportunity came up I jumped at the chance. I had heard a couple of horror stories about how gross bead sorting can be but this was far from the truth. Everything was neatly organized and the staff was friendly and helpful. Volunteering here creates jobs for many people so its a great way to give back. The time flew by as we sorted through countless bins of beads. You can also buy beads here so spread the word! Great activity for groups.

Second Harvest receives donations and they also purchase food and distribute it to the masses. Various churches, ministries, schools, individuals, agencies etc are able to receive food directly from Second Harvest Food Bank. Talk about paying it forward. Thousands of pounds of food comes thru here daily & Second Harvest is trusted to get it out to various food pantries & individuals. The word NO, doesn't exist here. Never have I seen a more benevolent group of people that are ALWAYS going over & beyond to help a person/families/groups in need. This place is a haven goodness. The volunteers POUR in and give of themselves, tirelessly!!! The senior boxes alone total 19,000 EVERY MONTH and volunteers come in daily shifts to assist with packing those boxes. PLUS, Second Harvest also feeds hot plates to senior citizens, lunch for school aged kids, good for pantries & still manages to do food giveaways to the general public that don't fall into the aforementioned categories. This place is a god-send!!! They accept food & monetary donations; so if you're able, pay it forward, be good to those in need!!!

I went by here on Friday and they appear to not have returned/closed up shop following hurricane…read moreIda but in case their down for some renovations here we go. I'll begin with the bad, they are high, sometimes egregiously so, as in $12 - $15 for a standard white men's dress shirt high. So everything you have read here about their prices is spot on and if that is a determining factor for a cleaners then One is certainly not for you. They also have had a bunch of employees turn around over the last couple of years so customer service has been less than ideal since 2017 or so. Here's the saving grace...their good, like really good, as in I have several spot in white pants I don't have to point out because they don't miss spots good. They have never returned and item to me shrunken, damaged, or unclean. If there's a spot they can not get out they don't wait for you to get home and discover it they point it out to me before I leave the store. For this reason I have taken all my nicest and most delicate items to One. Unfortunately because they're so freaking expensive I take 90 percent of my items to a secondary cleaners. If they were more reasonable I'd rate them higher but the cost has to lose them a star. I hope they reopen or I'll have to go on the hunt for another great dry cleaning company.

This thrift store is a nice size, it isn't massive. They have some beautiful shoes right by the entrance, they are displayed like they're in a department store. They have sorted clothes, for men, women and children. I was the most impressed by the home items like; rugs, mirrors, and glassware. Sadly I couldn't bring any of these home with me, but I really liked one of the mirrors. They have a whole section of $1.00 items, there was nothing for me here, but everything seemed to be in very good shape. They also have a substantial amount of records, CDs, books and art. This thrift store is much easier to navigate then the huge ones. You never know what you may find, and think of the good cause you're supporting with your purchase.
