New Orleans Mission is Louisiana’s largest provider of continuous emergency shelter services. We provide comprehensive care for men and women.

Emergency Services

• We provide emergency services to the community including shelter, meals, showers, clothing, GED classes, resume building, medical, addiction, and mental health counseling.
• We provide up to 700 hot meals a day. To meet the growing needs in our community this number is constantly fluctuating.
• Shelter - each night, hundreds of men and women find warm beds and safety from the dangerous streets. We can sleep as many as 252 women and men on regular nights and as many as 400 on freeze nights.
• Individual assessments - each guest is assessed to determine how we can best serve the individual’s needs.
• Life skills and Chapel - our staff and volunteers address a variety of areas such as spiritual guidance, substance abuse, vocational guidance, education, and financial management.

meals

38,000 plus delicious hot meals are served each month to the hungry in our region. Breakfast and lunch are served daily. Dinner is served Monday through Friday. On weekends, additional meals are provided by food donations made by churches and other partnering organizations. Our goal is to serve three meals daily, seven days a week.

clothing

Clothing and shoe donations are organized on racks to be distributed to individuals in need. (If you have wearables that you are no longer using that are in “gently used” condition, please consider donating them to help those hurting)
