Mission:

Mission: To stimulate revitalization and building through a comprehensive approach focused on neighborhood rebuilding.

Current Initiatives: Bunny Friends is applying for its own 501©3. We are focused on developing a resource center that would be developed to assist residents in the recovery process (grass cutting and lot clean up). Other areas of interest we seek to assist is to improve access to public health, create a good social atmosphere, case management, and provide leads for jobs, childcare and after school tutoring.

Grass Cutting Services – If you live in the Upper 9th Ward area call us or email us and we can cut your grass for free.

How You Can Help: If you live in the area come to our meetings. Donations and doors are open to the greater community – renters, homeowners, friends and supporters.
