Volunteer Louisiana

Yesterday, we had the honor of recognizing nine outstanding volunteers at our 2026 Champions of Service Awards luncheon, alongside Billy Nungesser Lt. Governor of Louisiana

These inspiring individuals are true community leaders: beautifying neighborhoods, feeding those in need, empowering youth and individuals with disabilities, supporting seniors, and so much more. We are inspired by their passion, dedication, and unwavering commitment to making a difference, one act of service at a time.

Congratulations to this year’s Champions of Service!
