The Community Center of St. Bernard - Mustard Seed Distribution program,
which distributes household goods, non-perishable foods and hygiene products
to residents while offering specialized equipment for those with special
needs, has a new director and has released dates and times for distribution.

“Mama” Sue Collins, who headed the program for the past 16 months, has left the
project. We want to welcome our new director Martin Huber, a 19-month
veteran of working for those affected by Hurricane Katrina. Huber comes from
N.O where he was a volunteer leader at Hands On New Orleans.

The Mustard Seed operates with goods which are donated to the Community
Center and often acts as a referral service to provide links between
residents and local agencies to address unmet needs.

Distribution of products will be made at the following locations, dates and times:

Community Center of St. Bernard
1107 Le Beau St. in Arabi
Tuesday: Noon to 5 p.m.
Friday: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Mustard Seed Distribution Center
At Camp Hope at the Willie Smith Elementary School in Violet
Thursday: Noon to 5 p.m.
Saturday: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
