| Happy Santas Adjust to Continue Christmas Tradition |

HAPPY SANTAS:
Despite the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic and its negative implications for the state’s hospitality industry, Happy Santas, sponsored by the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation, joined together to collect gifts and fulfill Christmas wish lists for residents at Padua House, a residential program of Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans (CCANO) for those with profound disabilities and intellectual challenges.
Instead of their traditional drop off atop the Drago’s Seafood Restaurant fire truck, they pivoted to fulfill clients’ digital wish lists via Amazon.
CCANO President and CEO Sister Marjorie Hebert said, “Despite a devastating year for the hospitality industry in New Orleans, the folks at the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation put their faith in action and stepped up to fulfill the Christmas wishes of our Padua House clients. We are eternally grateful for their selflessness this holiday season and hope that New Orleanians will continue the cycle of giving by supporting this important foundation."
Founded in 2006 by a select group of hospitality industry leaders, the Louisiana Hospitality Foundation is dedicated to supporting Louisiana's hospitality industry workforce and strengthening Louisiana’s hospitality industry.
