New Orleans Artists Against Hunger and Homelessness, a 501(c)3 organization, raises money to help the hungry and homeless through concerts, galas and other events.
A recent study by the Food Research and Action Center reported that the New Orleans metropolitan area had the eighth-highest rate of food hardship in the nation. Food hardship is defined as the lack of ability to provide a basic supply of necessary food. Households with children are at greater risk.
