Rivarde Juvinile Detention Center

Meals & Ministry at Rivarde

1405 W Esplanade Ave Kenner, LA 70065-2850

Beginning November 2025, our team will begin serving monthly at the Rivarde Detention Center to bring hope, encouragement, and the love of Jesus to the youth in the facility. Our heart is to create a consistent presence—planting seeds of truth, identity, and purpose. Age requirement: Must be 21+

Project Vision: For this project, our team will be going into Rivarde Juvenile Detention Center to serve meals to both the staff and the students in the pods. Our heart is to create an environment that feels safe, seen, and human. We will engage in open, respectful conversations, meet people where they are, and offer prayer to anyone who is open to it. Through simple acts—serving food, listening, and being present—we are communicating value and dignity. The goal is not to fix or force anything, but to love well!
