NORD recreation centers, tennis centers, playgrounds, and facilities will
be closed for recreational use until further notice. This includes swimming
pools, basketball courts, and outdoor play and fitness equipment. Health
clinics will remain open at the relevant facilities. Open spaces will
remain available for residents. Please practice social distancing of at
least 6 feet or more apart, avoid large gatherings, wash your
hands frequently, and stay informed by texting COVIDNOLA to 888777 to
receive alerts or visit nola.ready.gov.
Thank you Verizon and CVS Pharmacy for the special Easter
Treats
On Thursday, April 9, 2020,
youth ages 18 and under received a special treat from the Easter Bunny
sponsored by Verizon and CVS Pharmacy. Each child who received a hot
*FREE* meal as part of the citywide feeding program on Thursday from a NORD
meal site, also received assorted Easter candy and chocolate bunny.
NORD offers free, hot meals to caregivers, parents, and grandparents of
youth ages 18 and under from 4-6 PM at all rec centers except Annunciation
Rec Center and (10) playgrounds across the city. This is an easy
option to provide an in-between meal or dinner for your youth while they
are learning from home and sheltering in place. Come by a NORD meal
site today! Click here for the full list of locations and
times.
