This month we celebrate 20 years of RHINO – Restoring Hope in New Orleans in partnership with St. Charles Avenue PCUSA! Pancakes are back, and we’ll gather neighbors, families, and volunteers to honor the impact of RHINO while continuing the work of building community together.
We’ll explore how our garden beds connect to the food we eat at the community table with Lead Gardener Billie Golan. Together, we’ll share stories, strengthen bonds, and grow both food and friendship.
