Following Hurricane Dorian and its tragic impact on the Bahamas, Bacchanal reached out to charities working disaster relief to assess the greatest need. The answer was often, food. Bahamian communities continue needing assistance building back up their grocery stores, restaurants and homes.
New Orleans too, can relate to this fundamental need, as our community harnessed the impact food can make after a disaster. In fact, Primal Nights originally started partly as a throwback to the relationships built around food and community post Katrina.
We’ve selected World Central Kitchen as one of two 501c3 organizations this season because of the ‘WCK Chef Relief Team’ dedicated to providing ‘freshly made, nutritious meals to survivors of disasters quickly and effectively’. Our local charity this season, Greater New Orleans Growers Alliance aims to ‘harnessing their collective political and physical power to create an urban food and farm system that sustains grower and eater alike. GNOGA accomplishes this mission through mutual aid, logistical support, shared resources, community engagement, and policy (local and national) campaigns.’
