As a Marketing Director and board member of Friend's of Codey's, I support this work because I've seen the real impact it ha. I believe in a more equitable food and hospitality industry in New Orleans. Since 2020, FOC has helped remove barries for underserved food entrepreneurs by providing access to affordable kitchen space, business education, and shared revenue opportunities. I've seen the impact first hand and with your support, we can help even more chefs and small food business owners in New Orleans grow and thrive.
