St. Luke’s Students Fight Food Insecurity Through Local Partnerships

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church and School has built a strong partnership with the Three O’Clock Project, a nonprofit tackling food insecurity in South Louisiana. The collaboration has made volunteering a regular part of student life while supporting hundreds of local families each week.

The Three O’Clock Project provides meals to children and families outside school hours, including afternoons and summers. Each week, it serves over 460 families of four—around 1,840 people in total.

The school expects to keep supporting the Three O’Clock Project through food drives, direct service, and community engagement. The ongoing collaboration ensures that students remain connected to meaningful volunteer work while addressing local food insecurity. The project’s reach and impact will depend on continued participation from schools like St. Luke’s.
