NEW ORLEANS – This Friday, March 17, The Galatoire Foundation will present checks to two local nonprofits, Edible Schoolyard New Orleans and The Good Shepherd School, at Galatoire’s Restaurant, 209 Bourbon St., at 1:45 p.m.
The proceeds were raised by the restaurant’s Christmas and Mardi Gras table auctions, held on Dec. 5, 2016 and Jan. 30.
Proceeds from the Galatoire’s table auctions will help Edible Schoolyard continue in its mission to teach children to make healthy connections through food. Galatoire’s table auction donations will also contribute to The Good Shepherd School’s efforts to provide low-income urban youth with an extended-day, year-round, quality education, integrated with personal, moral and spiritual development, and continued guidance during the students' further education.
Created in 2010, the Galatoire Foundation establishes a framework for the restaurant’s numerous community activities and donations. This year, Galatoire’s raised more than $150,000, surpassing more than $1.2 million dollars raised since the inception of its now-famous holiday table auctions.
