HIGH VOLTAGE, INC. IMPACT AND LEADERSHIP IN 2020

High Voltage volunteers, community and business partners have joined to meet the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and several hurricanes that devastated the Gulf Coast.  Important to program effectiveness in 2020 were our Bags of Hope and School Supply Giveaways. For several years, High Voltage has provided Bags of Hope filled with personal hygiene products and school supplies to the homeless population (children, youth, adults, and families) in homeless shelters throughout New Orleans.  As a result of these simultaneous crises, High Voltage started working with the Louisiana Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster (VOAD) to provide additional relief throughout the State of Louisiana.

From August 2020 to January 2021, our Bags of Hope Project provided hundreds of facemasks, gallons of hand sanitizer, gloves, soap, diapers, sanitary products, etc.  to families impacted by Hurricanes Laura and Delta.

The Bags were given to the Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services and the American Red Cross for distribution.
