Catholic Charities of N La. to host Highland Parade lunch stop, open house

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Catholic Charities of North Louisiana (CCNLA) is gearing up for an exciting week of community engagement, kicking off with their Highland Parade Lunch Stop on Sunday March 2nd and an Open House event on Tuesday, March 4th.

During the Highland neighborhood Mardi Gras parade, CCNLA will serve hot dogs, chili, and drinks at Brother’s Hair Salon (Kings Hwy & Centenary Blvd) starting at 11 a.m. Food will be available for a donation, and all proceeds will benefit the organization’s vital community programs.

CCNLA provides education and essential services, including financial and emergency assistance, a resource closet for young families, immigration services, and legal aid. The organization serves as a safety net for individuals facing financial difficulties, helping bridge the gap during tough times.

“It’s an honor to be that safety net for people,” said CCNLA Executive Director Diane Libro. “We have folks that come in who’ve lost a job, and maybe they have another one lined up, but they’re not going to make rent that month. We can help them bridge that gap.”

CCNLA invites the public to an Open House on Tuesday, March 4, at 8 a.m. and Noon, located at 902 Olive St., Shreveport, La to further showcase their work. Attendees can tour the program, enjoy King Cake and coffee, and learn about volunteer opportunities.
