Join us on Saturday, November 18^th from 12pm – 3pm for H.O.P.E. Fest, a community celebration that will help put food on the tables of New Orleanians in need this Thanksgiving! That’s right, we’re helping the people of our community eat with a family-friendly, community-wide event that’s totally FREE. 

Here's what you can expect: 

**1. Turkey Giveaway:** H.O.P.E. Fest will feature a massive giveaway, providing 500 Thanksgiving turkeys to local families on a first come, first served basis, with one turkey per address/unit. It's our way of ensuring that as many people as possible can enjoy a warm and hearty meal during this holiday season.  

**2. Food and Refreshments:** In addition to turkeys, there will be free hot dogs and soda. 

**3. Family Fun:** H.O.P.E. Fest is a family-friendly event, and we've got entertainment covered! Kids can have a blast with face painting, jump around in the bouncy house, and parents can relish quality time with their loved ones in a safe and welcoming environment. We’ll also present live music and other entertainment! 

**4. Prayer Tent & Dream Interpretation:** For those seeking prayer or curious about the meaning of their dreams, our prayer tent will be open for ministry and dream interpretation, offering a safe space for growth and understanding. 

H.O.P.E. Fest is not just an event; it's an opportunity to support our neighbors in need and help the people of our community eat. We invite everyone in the New Orleans area to come together for this free fall festival, as we embrace the heart of Christ Jesus and bless others. 

As we prepare for H.O.P.E. Fest, we welcome volunteers, sponsors, and anyone who wants to be part of something truly special. Together, we can make H.O.P.E. Fest and this Thanksgiving a truly memorable experience. 

Let's come together as a community, spread the love of Jesus, and make H.O.P.E. Fest a day to remember. See you there!
