About this facility

Hours: 24 / 7
Mission: We, The Society of St. Vincent de Paul at Ozanam Inn, commit ourselves to the ideals as stated by our patron, St. Vincent de Paul, when he said: "You will find that charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the bowl of soup and the basket of bread. But, you must keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give bread and soup, this the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting as you will see; but, the uglier and dirtier they are, the more unjust and bitter, the more you must give them of your love. It is because of your love, only your love, that the poor will forgive you the bread you give them" In keeping with the gospel mandate of charity, we shall accept the challenge and offer food and shelter to those in need in our society, as their servant.
Areas served: Orleans, Baton Rouge, Harrison Parishes

Notes

Ozanam Inn is a non-profit, direct service agency serving the homeless and needy of greater New Orleans, regardless of race, color, creed, religious preference or national origin. All of our services are provided free-of-charge. The Inn was established in 1955 by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay service organization dedicated to helping the poor; the Inn was named in honor of Frederick Ozanam, who founded the Society in 1852.

SEE EXTENSIVE LIST of Services available at: http://www.ozanaminn.org/services.html

Ozanam Inn needs toiletries of all sizes and all kinds-soap, deodorant, shampoo in addition to finances to help cover the costs of feeding homeless individuals 3 times daily. Cost is approximately $1200 daily.

You may also donate by mail. Please send your donations to:

Ozanam Inn
P.O. Box 30565
New Orleans, La. 70190-0565

Ozanam Inn is completely donor supported having an annual budget of $600,000.00. Over half of these donations are made by individuals.

Since Hurricane Katrina the New Orleans donor base has been severely reduced, however the services provided by the Inn and the associated expenses have not reduced.

Individual donations are needed more than ever to allow Ozanam Inn to continue its mission.
