IMPORTANT UPDATE: We hope you and your families are safe after Hurricane Francine. We’re relieved to report that all NOWCS participants are safe, and our shelter facilities have minimal damage. In light of ongoing power outages and cleanup efforts, we’ve decided to postpone the Annual Family Picnic originally scheduled for September 14. We’ll update you soon with a new date for the picnic. We deeply appreciate all who have donated, volunteered, and supported this event. Your generosity means the world to us! Stay safe and be well.

About us
The only homeless shelter for intact families and the largest homeless shelter for women and children in the metro area, the New Orleans Women & Children’s Shelter (NOWCS) is committed to breaking the cycle of homelessness while keeping families together through coordinated, family-centered support and services. Since 2007, NOWCS has served more than 4,500 parents and children recovering from homelessness and less than 2% of the people NOWCS has served have returned to homelessness. Our in-house programs are outcomes-driven and include case management, workforce development, life skills, financial literacy, parenting, children's programs and post-residency support. We work with over 60 community partners to ensure our residents' unique and varied needs are met. For more information, visit www.nowcs.org.

Meet James and his son Dante. In 2022, life threw them a curveball, leaving them homeless with nowhere to turn. Amidst the uncertainty, hope found them at the New Orleans Women & Children’s Shelter. With open arms and unwavering support, James and Dante found their footing again and eventually a new home. Their story is just one of 4,500 reasons to support us. As Father’s Day approaches, let's remember that our shelter isn't just for women and their children. We welcome single fathers, intact families, and boys, providing a safe haven for families in need. Make a difference this Father’s Day for dad like James. 💙 #FathersDay #HopePrevails #BreakingtheCycle 💙
