As the Marketing Liaison for Friends of Codey’s, I have the privilege of amplifying a mission rooted in community, equity, and empowerment. But for me, this work is also deeply personal. Sinnidra’s vision, heart, and commitment to nourishing New Orleans, both literally and figuratively, has inspired me from day one. Watching her pour into our community with intention and integrity motivates me to do the same. Together, we're not just creating space for food entrepreneurs, but we're cultivating pathways to generational change. On May 6, we’re participating in GiveNOLA Day, and I’m asking you to join us in this movement. Your donation helps us: Provide accessible commissary kitchen space to local food entrepreneurs Grow educational programs that empower families Build a more just, nourished, and inclusive community Donate now to become a true Friend of Codey’s—and help us turn passion into progress for the people of New Orleans. With gratitude, Deveney
