We were honored to welcome students from Terrebonne High School during their Relay For Life visit to Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge New Orleans! 💜

Our guests and caregivers enjoyed a meaningful afternoon filled with connection, community, and care. The students toured the lodge, spent time engaging with our guests, and generously provided food for everyone to enjoy.

As part of our EMPOWER Program, the Terrebonne team led a creative activity where they designed and created uplifting artwork for our guests—sharing messages of hope, strength, and encouragement throughout the lodge. From “Hope Lives Here” to “Go Tigers!”, each piece brought smiles and positivity to our community.

Moments like these remind us that hope is stronger when we come together. Thank you, Terrebonne High School, for your compassion, leadership, and for making a lasting impact on our Hope Lodge family.

April marked 20 years of hope at Patrick F. Taylor Hope Lodge in New Orleans.

For two decades, this lodge has been more than a place to stay—it has been a community rooted in compassion, resilience, and unwavering support. The many guests, caregivers, and volunteers who have walked through these doors are the true heart of this journey.

We extend our deepest gratitude to those who have poured into this mission—Matt’s Crew, St. Martin, Jani-King, River Market, and Anne for the beautiful butterflies that symbolize hope and renewal.

A special thank you to the Houma Civitan Club for sponsoring our Butterfly Release and helping create such a meaningful moment for our guests and caregivers.

It is the smiles, the service, and the shared moments that have defined these 20 years—and will continue to carry this legacy forward.

Here’s to 20 years of hope… and many more lives to be touched.
