The New Orleans Mission is a major service provider for the homeless in New Orleans and a part of the heart of the city. Through Hurricane Katrina, the Mission renewed its vision to serve the least, the last and the lost. The Mission is excited to be used by God to continue bringing hope and restoration to New Orleans' poor and homeless residents.

As New Orleans faces a crisis of homelessness like never before, the Mission especially needs your help. Since Hurricane Katrina, homelessness in New Orleans has doubled from 6,000 to an estimated 12,000. Many agencies are no longer operational, creating additional need for our services.
