The following is a “script” for one of Matt’s segments:
Fifteen years after Katrina, Louisiana has been hit hard again. As I have family and friends there, I am always looking for ways to be of support.
Fortunately, my Bayou brethren (and sistren) keep coming up with great ways to get involved.
First of all, the ResQue (that’s “R-E-S-Q-U-E) foundation is turning up the heat on their food service and support programs, providing meals for first responders and emergency workers as well as Crescent City citizens who have been blown away by hurricanes and Covid.
If ‘cue is not your jam, our friends at Beyond the Equator just released a new nut butter that adds Enjoy Life chocolate chips to their power-packed gumbo of chia, flax, pumpkin, sunflower, and hemp seeds, making an allergen-free and low-sugar treat to add to toast, pancakes, carrot sticks, or just a spoon.
For those who are into the music at least as much as the food, there is also the Keep New Orleans Music Alive organization that Grammy-winning New Orlinean Delfeayo Marsalis recently formed to support his fellow artists as they slog through the pandemic and all of the other challenges that come with trying to get gigs in a hospitality-heavy town with no tourists.
New Orleans has given and continues to given so much. Even as we all face additional challenges, I hope that people will try to give back a little lagniappeso the good times can roll again someday soon!
