The Giving Hope Community Center: Offers education, workforce development, sports and youth programming for 1,000 residents in the Ninth Ward. The site is also home to a DePaul Clinic and Kids of Excellence, an early childhood education nonprofit. Women of Hope Unite: A network of women supporting women and children in the Greater Metro Area.
