Volunteer Opportunities

Volunteer Opportunities: Garden Outreach

As Pontchartrain Park and Gentilly Woods residents return to their neighborhood, volunteer assistance is vital to the affordability and timeliness of moving home. Before the flood Pontilly was a historic neighborhood noted for its well tended gardens, manicured lawns and extensive public greenspaces – the third largest green space in the city! We graciously welcome people power to assist in neighborhood replanting and garden restoration. Help is encouraged on an individual basis as well as through group efforts. Please join us to help our fellow New Orleanians in their neighborhood recovery. To lend a hand contact Hillary Schackai for more details: hschackai@longuevue.com
