grace at the greenlight
Grace at the Greenlight supports New Orleans’ homeless community by helping to provide for and restore, basic human needs: Food, water, community and human dignity. Grace operate the”I’m Going Home Program”, a first-of-its-kind program that provides homeless persons with cost-free social services, food, water, and transportation to reunite with loved ones in a permanent home. The “I’m Going Home Program” began in New Orleans and the need it served and its success in doing so spurred expansion to several major metropolitan areas across the nation. Grace’s aim is to expand the program still more so that the Nation’s homeless can enjoy the care of loved ones and the joy and dignity of a permanent home.

The Funky Uncle
FunkyUncle.live has broadcast livestream music shows every week since April 2021, raising money for musician, entertainer, and gig-worker Covid Relief. These broadcasts originate from the Funky Uncle Lounge, a one-of-a-kind mobile music-hall and Mardi Gras float with a state-of-the-art sound system. Patterned on Soul Train and Midnight Special TV programs, they combine musician interviews, fundraising and outreach, and complete musical performances, broadcast on the FunkyUncle.live website, Facebook Live, YouTube, and Twitch. Funds raised through online donations and sales of paintings and giclées of the Funky Uncle Live performances, which the noted New Orleans artist, Frenchy, graciously donates after each show.
