Grounds Krewe Outreach VISTA
 
 
 
Grounds Krewe is a 501(c)(3) non-profit with a mission to promote waste prevention, recycling, and sustainable products at New Orleans special events. The goal of the proposed VISTA project is to expand access to recycling at public and parades and provide economic opportunities to low income business owners through the creation and sale of locally sourced, environmentally sensitive Mardi Gras “throws”. The VISTA project expects to benefit Orleans parish residents and the millions of visitors who come to the city each year to enjoy its free special events, as well as low income businesses and disadvantaged community members engaged for sustainable parade throw products and services. VISTA members will contribute to the goals of the project by building capacity for campaigns and awareness programs. The VISTA will break the cycle of poverty by educating small business and low income community members on engagement and employment opportunities created as a result of Grounds Krewe initiatives.
