Partnership Impact

Because of YOUR End of the Year generosity, the Lower 9th Ward Homeownership Assocaition hosted its 1st Annual MLK Day of Service in the Lower 9. In partnership with the L9 Neighborhood Association, the Leona Tate Foundation for Change, CORE, AETNA, and SOUL, we welcomed 170 volunteers to plant 60 trees and cleared 72 bags of trash.
