Community Day of Service Rescheduled Due to Weather
The All In for Our Community: Day of Service, originally scheduled for inauguration weekend, has been rescheduled to Monday, January 19, 2026 (Martin Luther King Day) to ensure a safe and meaningful experience for all volunteers.
Are You All In For Our Community Day Of Service?
New Orleans has always been at its best when we show up for one another. All In for Our Community Day of Service invites residents across the city to roll up their sleeves and take part in hands-on projects at NORD parks, playgrounds, and recreation facilities in all five City Council districts.
Volunteers from across our city are welcome, whether you’re signing up as an individual or organizing a group with your church, school, workplace, or neighborhood association.
After signing up below, volunteers will receive guidance from our day-of-service partner, HandsOn, including future correspondence about project assignments and next steps.
Join us on MLK Day and help start this new chapter All In for Our City.
