Rising Tide 5 is proud to assist the efforts of Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana. We are conducting a food drive in conjunction with the conference, and we also have a volunteer opportunity on Friday, August 27, the day before the conference.
We will be packing food boxes from 9:00 a.m. until noon, on Friday, August 27, at Second Harvest's Elmwood warehouse. Rising Tide 5 committee member Alli de Jong is coordinating the food drive and the volunteer meet-up in Elmwood. She can be reached at service@risingtidenola.com.
Please join us for this year's Rising Tide public service opportunity. We'll be packing food boxes for distribution to hundreds of families who've seen their jobs and livelihoods evaporate. If you are coming from out of town, we can hook you up with a ride to Elmwood.
In the meantime, you don't have to wait until late August to support the efforts of Second Harvest Food Bank of Greater New Orleans and Acadiana. You can donate a Healthy Bag any time. For more information about the food bank's mission, go to www.no-hunger.org.
The Rising Tide Conference is an annual gathering for all who wish to learn more and do more to assist New Orleans' recovery. Leveraging the power of bloggers and new media, the conference is a launch pad for organization and action. Our day-long program of speakers and presentations is tailored to inform, entertain, enrage and inspire.
