Just the Right Attitude
The following organization may be helpful for individuals in the New Orleans, LA area who are in need of food assistance: Offering nutritious meals and food baskets, Just The Right Attitude (JTRA) serves as the Foodbank for New Orleans East and Gentilly communities. Since its opening in 2001, JTRA has provided individuals with the assistance they need to provide food for themselves and their families. In addition to providing food baskets, JTRA serves hot lunches and breakfast free of charge to individuals who qualify for assistance. Breakfast is served on Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays from 8:30 am to 10:00 am and lunch is served Monday through Thursday from 11:30am to 1:30 pm. JTRA serves a large population of individuals including those who are homeless as well as those who struggling to make ends meet. To qualify for assistance through JTRA, individuals must provide proof of a current utility (light bill, water bill, telephone bill, rent receipt, mortgage coupon, FEMA trailer papers) and a current Louisiana Driver's License or State Identification. Although providing hot meals and food baskets are the primary function of JTRA, their vision is to grow to become a bigger organization and provide more services to the New Orleans East and Gentilly communities. Recently, JTRA became a certified Medicaid Application Site. Individuals who are in need of healthcare assistance can now make an appointment with JTRA to apply for assistance through Medicaid. JTRA also provides an "At Risk Youth Program" that provides mentoring to boys between the ages of 12 through 16. If you would like more information about the services and programs of JTRA or determine if your eligible for assistance, call (504)309-2492.
