The Giving Hope Community Center is the newest of our programs as we partnered with Thrive New Orleans to impact the Desire neighborhood. The Desire neighborhood is a community full of beautiful people who possess pride in their community in spite of the struggles and injustices they have endured. The community continues to have a legacy of hard work, loyalty, perseverance, and family that have been overshadowed by the effects of crime and poverty.

Thrive and Giving Hope are partnering together to provide a safe place for families, youth, and seniors to develop a greater community and pursue their hopes and dreams. The programming aims to serve the whole community through Summer Camp and VBS, After School Programming, a Wellness Center equipped with cardio and exercise equipment, dance teams and sport teams practices, and a computer lab. The strength of any community is in the families and leaders, so please join us in investing your time, talent, and treasure in our neighbors in the Ninth Ward.
