| Operation Helping Hands |
 |
|
Parkway Partners works with
homeowners in the Catholic Charities Helping
Hands program to create an easy, low
maintenance garden for the newly renovated
homes of elderly Orleans residents. Master
Gardeners and other volunteers work together
with Nell Howard, pictured here planting a
fruit tree.

| Releaf New Orleans to the East |
 |
|
New Orleans East has a bare skyline, so we
are concentrating efforts into that area.

planted over 7,000 trees through ReLeaf New
Orleans as neighbors band together for the
effort.
