We Are
Giving Hope
Giving Hope is a 501c3 nonprofit with global reach and impact. Our mission is to give glory to God and promote human dignity.

“For I was hungry and you fed me. For I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. For I was a stranger and you invited me into your home. For I was naked and you clothed me. For I was sick and you cared for me. For I was in prison and you visited me.” – Matthew 25:35-36

This food pantry feeds the needy for Thanksgiving and beyond. How it impacts New Orleans.
After 35 years in the military, with tours in both Vietnam and Iraq, Robert Bookman is still serving others, and he’s thankful for the chance to do so. Today, that means volunteering four days a week packing nonperishable food items for those in need at the Giving Hope NOLA food pantry.
