The Saints and Pelicans team up to assist tornado victims in St. Bernard Parish, the Lower Ninth Ward and greater New Orleans area.

The New Orleans Saints and Pelicans team up to help the citizens affected by the recent tornado that hit New Orleans' Lower 9th Ward and St. Bernard parish areas.

Several large donation bins will be place outside starting on Friday, March 25 at 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM CT.

Members of the Black and Gold community are encouraged drive by and donate the following items:

  • Cleaning & Cleanup Supplies
  • Gloves
