Love Your Neighbor Van
Homelessness in Baton Rouge is a pressing issue. Approximately 400 individuals daily were looking for a shelter bed as of September 2024. Many face food insecurity, especially on weekends. A mobile breakfast service on Sunday mornings can fill this gap by delivering meals to various locations, ensuring sustenance when other resources are unavailable.
What goes in a van, you ask?
We will serve breakfast burritos and hot coffee on Sunday mornings. We will also give away lunch including 2 sandwiches, 2 boiled eggs, chips, cookies, fruit, and a drink. Additionally, we will have socks and long-sleeved t-shirts to give away. And we will provide some basic health services like band aids and Neosporin. Each van will feed approximately 65 individuals and costs around $400 per daily run.
