New Orleanss Mass Feeding Initiative Presents Barriers To Local Restaurants
Feed The Front Line Nola

They began hiring local musicians to run the deliveries, helping to keep them afloat after many had lost their gigs. Feed the Second Line, a sister effort, was announced on Friday , which would have been the second day of our city’s beloved Jazz and Heritage Festival. Feed the Second Line seeks to provide food-love and employment to our culture-bearers — musicians, Mardi Gras Indians, Social Aid and Pleasure Club members, artists and other cultural figures in the New Orleans community.

On December 4th, Krewe of Red Beans also created a project “Hire a Mardi Gras Artist”, raising funds for laid-off carnival artists to give them work in the lead-up to the city’s COVID-carnival.

Since its doors opened in 1893, Commander’s Palace has been New Orleanians’ go-to for celebratory brunches and festive dinners.

It began as a weekly brainstorming call among law firm leaders about how to protect employees, stabilize firms and ensure that legal services would continue unhindered. But when New Orleans became a hotspot, the consensus quickly pivoted from protecting our own people to helping the community as a whole. People who contribute to the fund get physical Bean Coins or glass red beans which work as prepaid bar tabs redeemable at local businesses all over the city. For two weeks, volunteers went around different neighborhoods and surprised people that were wearing a protective mask with raffle tickets.

The krewe was inspired by a mixture of New Orleans traditional cultural practices - mainly the annual suit-making of Black Masking Indians and the parade style of second lines. In the summer, The Krewe of Red Beans had also created the Mask Up Raffle Drawing to help encourage mask-wearing in New Orleans to curb the spread of COVID-19. Hire a Mardi Gras Artist was formed to raise funds for laid-off carnival artists to give them work while bringing Mardi Gras magic to New Orleans neighborhoods. More people start fundraisers on GoFundMe than on any other platform.

As an emergency room nurse, Pennie Favalora sees firsthand the fortitude and devotion her colleagues bring to the coronavirus fight. Feed the Second Line’s first community partnerships are with Black Men of Labor Social Aid & Pleasure Club, the Treme Brass Band and Monogram Hunters Mardi Gras Indian Tribe Big Chief "Pie." Similar programs have taken root across the country as communities contend with the pandemic.
