Project Pothole

Cones are perhaps most frequently used to alert us mere mortals to the existence of potholes (or developing sinkholes) in our paths. While Orleans Parish laws prohibit private citizens or nonprofits from repaving potholes, that doesn’t mean that we can’t do anything to help protect New Orleans residents & their car’s axles from the pervasive problem.

The Cone stands strong to alert us to the threat, and we flock to its beacon to assist in its sacred mission. Conetact us by email to get involved.

Project Cone Home

June 1st marks the start of hurricane season. And we mark the start of hurricane season by meeting to pre-plan how we can best help the New Orleans community in the days and weeks after a natural disaster. Before a storm in the Gulf even gets named, we set up our basic infrastructure, plan how to share information, allocate resources, and delegate predicted responsibilities.

After the last major hurricane (Ida, 2021), we conducted nearly 50 checks for evacuees worried about their home or loved ones worried about their family in New Orleans. We aggregated, mapped, and distributed information about 100s of emerging community resource centers and charging stations. We also provided a steady stream of volunteers to Cajun Navy Relief’s support for our neighbors in the southern parishes.

Anyone interested in contributing to Project Cone Home - Season 2023 is invited to attend our planning session on June 3. Want to chat about how you might contribute before then? Conetact us by email.
