To date, the City’s vendor, Revolution Foods, along with their partners at Chef’s Brigade and the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute, have cooked, packaged, and delivered 82,564 meals to a growing list of eligible residents which has now surpassed 6,000. These meals are high-quality, local flavors made by over 60 restaurants across the city. Participating restaurants include Katie's, Diva Dawg, Frankie & Johnny's, Toup's, Silk Road, Café Dauphine, Poke Loa, Central City BBQ, Taceaux Loceaux, and many more.

A few sample menu items include:

A cost-sharing collaboration with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), this first-of-its-kind program is providing temporary emergency food assistance to residents impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligibility comes in many forms, including seniors over 65, children under 18, those who are quarantining, those who are infected with COVID-19, and those who are homeless. Residents are also eligible if they fall into a high risk category due to health conditions, which include: smoking, pregnancy, diabetes, asthma, high blood pressure, obesity, heart conditions, chronic lung disease, kidney and liver disease, immuno-compromised, HIV or AIDS, Sickle Cell Disease, and more. No identification or documentation is required to apply.
