• Join the Krewe of Kindness!

    In a season when New Orleans buzzes with vibrant energy and community pride, you’re invited to be part of something rooted in the bright spirit of our city — our Krewe of Kindness.

    Just as every Mardi Gras krewe comes together to bring joy to others, the Krewe of Kindness at Covenant House is a circle of people who choose to show love, generosity, and kindness to homeless youth. When you join our Krewe, you’ll let our young people know you care for and celebrate them for who they are, and that you’re here to light up their path home.

    JOIN THE KREWE OF KINDNESS!

It’s Kindness Month at Covenant House New Orleans!

Celebrate the small acts that make a big difference.

This month, we celebrate Mardi Gras and National Random Acts of Kindness Day — both on February 17 this year. We’re calling on our Cov Community here in New Orleans to come together in kindness for homeless youth.

What is the Krewe of Kindness?

Krewes in our city represent belonging, creativity, and community pride. They’re behind the parades and celebrations that lift people up. And they make everything a little brighter for everyone. The purpose of our Krewe of Kindness at Covenant House is to share unconditional love, kindness, and joy with young people who need it most. We’re dedicated to supporting homeless youth and lifting their spirits as they find their own purpose and their path home.

What Is National Random Acts of Kindness Day?

Random Acts of Kindness Day is a time to recognize that even the smallest gesture can make a big difference in someone’s life. It’s a day to celebrate the moments of joy we create when we share compassion with others. Just one act of kindness can heal someone in so many ways and create a ripple effect across our community.

Let’s celebrate Mardi Gras, Random Acts of Kindness Day, and all the young people at Covenant House who are making their way to lives of joy and independence.
