Providing Pumpkins for Everyone
On October 5 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Toups Family Meal will deliver 500 free pumpkins and decorating kits to families across New Orleans registered with TFM's meal and grocery drops. There will also be a pumpkin drive at 12 p.m. sharp at TFM's distribution facility at 845 North Carrollton Ave.
This mobile pumpkin patch aims to make celebrating Halloween accessible for families that can not spare the extra cost of non-essential produce. If you or someone you know is part of a family in need in Orleans Parish, requests for a pumpkin delivery can be made here.
Volunteer/Donation Information
Toups Family Meal always welcomes donations and delivery drivers to keep their organization running. Interested parties can donate through their website here or fill out this form to sign up as a delivery driver.
TFM was first created by Chef Isaac Toups and Amanda Toups during the COVID-19 pandemic to support their staff and families during restaurant shutdowns. This led to Chef Issac cooking meals for families in the surrounding area. Since then, Toups Family Meal has expanded its services to anyone in Orleans Parish in need.
