LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION!
We offer the best location in New Orleans for volunteers! Our organization is located in Central City, near the Lower Garden District and right off the St. Charles streetcar line. We are within walking distance of cafes, restaurants, entertainment and only three miles from the French Quarter! Audubon Park, Tulane and Loyola Universities are only minutes away.
ACCOMMODATIONS
Accommodations are dormitory style. Volunteers will either sleep on a cot, air mattress, or bunk bed. Volunteers will need to provide their own sheets, sleeping bag, and pillow.
MEALS
We provide three meals a day, Monday – Friday for groups. Breakfast is set up early morning and at that time lunch fixings such as sandwiches, chips, cookies, and fruit are put out as well. Volunteers will prepare their lunches at that time. In the evening we always provide a hot meal. There is always a meat and vegetarian option. If you have a dietary need other than this you may need to supplement what we provide with your own food.
WORK CLOTHES and SAFETY ITEMS
Volunteers are expected to wear appropriate work clothes to volunteer in. Jeans, t-shirts and sweatshirts are fine to work in and closed toed shoes or boots are required. Volunteers are asked to bring their own safety glasses and work gloves to insure safety on the project sites.
HURRICANE ADVISORY
Hurricane season in New Orleans is from June 1-November 30. Should there be a threat of a hurricane all volunteers will be asked to evacuate. The United Saints is not responsible for evacuating volunteers.
