The New Year’s Eve terror attack in New Orleans has left an unforgettable mark on the community, shattering lives and spreading grief across the city and beyond. The tragedy, which claimed the lives of at least 14 individuals and injured dozens more, was a reminder of the fragility of peace during moments of celebration.
As we mourn those lost & injured and extend our heartfelt condolences to their families, Fill the Needs is committed to standing with the victims, their loved ones, and the broader New Orleans community during this time.
In response to this devastating event, our organization has reached out to several victims and their families, offering our support and help to identify resources needed to navigate this difficult time.

Recognizing the emotional toll such a tragedy can take; we are planning several mental health outreach programs aimed at fostering recovery and resilience within the community. These initiatives will be designed to address trauma and promote mental well-being.
Additionally, Fill the Needs is collaborating with our network of non-profit partners to identify both immediate and long-term needs within the community.
