NEW ORLEANS —
The City of New Orleans announced the near completion of its $30 million COVID-19 Meal Assistance Program, which has provided twice daily, restaurant-made meals to COVID-vulnerable residents for nearly a year.
“The pandemic hit New Orleans hard early on and we needed to ensure that our most vulnerable people could stay home and have food on their tables,” said Mayor LaToya Cantrell. “I’m grateful to our partners at FEMA who agreed that meal delivery during the height of the pandemic was a priority to keep people safe. This truly historic program has served our residents, workers and restaurants well, and for that I am so proud.”
