The Hot Dog Safari

The Hotdog Safaris mission is to organize pop up events throughout the year to raise funds to address food insecurity in our communities. We address food insecurities by filling Community Fridges and providing free meals to those in need.

The Hotdog Safari has grown in attendees and funds raised every year in New Orleans since 2022. Those attendees have raised over $12,000 through donations and the sale of merchandise for New Orleans community Fridges in that time. Safari events have brought people to over 25 restaurants and bars and have been able to promote dozens of local artists and musicians in that time at no cost to the business owners, and adds new contestants and event locations every year. It is an organization that is open to all ages and people in the community who want to have fun for a good cause!
