The Westwego Food Bank has been providing food to needy families for over 13 years. We distribute food on Weds., Thurs., and Fri. from 9am to 12pm.
We are People Helping, Hand-in-Hand — also known as the Westwego Food Bank. As a Partner Agency of Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana, People Helping, Hand-in-Hand is primarily a food pantry — a distribution point for food to individuals and families in need. Those who qualify may receive a variety of canned goods, dry goods and a limited amount of produce. We also have refrigerated dairy items and frozen foods, when they are available.
In addition to our food bank services, People Helping, Hand-in-Hand operates as a community center, conducting events throughout the year, including a School Supply Drive, a Thanksgiving Food Drive, a Holiday Gift Drive, and an annual Health Fair.
