Volunteers pass out fish fry and jambalaya mix during a Culture Aid NOLA distribution of hurricane supplies Saturday, July 16, 2022, at Tad Gormley Stadium in New Orleans. While free hurricane-supply distributions are not new, this is the first time multiple national and international partners have committed funding and supplies to New Orleans before a storm happens, said Erica Chomsky-Adelson, executive director of Culture Aid NOLA. With the sounds of two bands and a DJ adding to the festivities, about 150 volunteers at 13 drive-through and walk-up stations distributed the supplies, which were brought to Tad Gormley in seven 40-foot-long shipping containers. The more than 2,000 kits each contained about 60 pounds of items, which included a variety of pantry foods, cleaning supplies and water.
