Hurricane Isaac Response and Recovery
How To Volunteer
As residents of New Orleans and its neighboring parishes pull
together to recover from the effects of Hurricane Isaac,
HandsOn New Orleans is launching an online Volunteer Opportunity
Calendar and will host a statewide, virtual Volunteer Reception
Center. HandsOn New Orleans is certified by the Louisiana Serve
Commission to act as the official Volunteer Response Center
for southeast Louisiana during emergencies. Since the storm,
HandsOn New Orleans has reached out to several nonprofit
partners and other groups seeking support to compile post-Isaac
recovery project opportunities in one place.
