One of our biggest challenges is communicating to the nation, that our city is both up and running again and yet still heavily devastated in many ways. The French Quarter, the business district, and other popular New Orleans’ cultural assets are back; but just blocks away, neighborhoods are still struggling to rebuild.

Hurricane Katrina was the worst natural disaster in American history. Hundreds of thousands of homes remain to be rebuilt and nearly 200,000 people are still displaced. The need for recovery aid is significant and will be for years to come.

Support HandsOn New Orleans when buying or selling online!


HandsOn New Orleans is a part of the eBay Giving Works program, so when you buy or sell on eBay there is an opportunity for a portion of the sale to go towards supporting our organization.

How to support Hands On New Orleans through eBay Giving Works and Mission Fish.

Shopping online?
-Go to the eBay Giving Works website (http://www.ebaygivingworks.com/) and search for sellers who have designated Hands On New Orleans as the recipient of a portion of their final sale price.

Selling online?
-Designate our organization to receive 10-100% of your final sale price the next time you list a new item. Not only will you help support the critical work that we are doing in New Orleans, but charity listings often get more bids and higher prices than regular eBay listings. Plus eBay gives back to you too, with a fee credit on your basic selling fees.

Follow these easy steps to begin supporting Hands On New Orleans when you sell on eBay:
1. Click the “Sell” link on any eBay page – this will take you to the Sell Your Item form. Be sure to select the “Customize Your Listing” option to see the eBay Giving Works section.
2. In “Choose how you’d like to sell your item” look for the eBay Giving Works section. If you don’t see it, click on the link that says “Add or remove options” and put a check next to the box that says “Donate a Percentage of Sale”.
3. Click on the link that says “Or, select another nonprofit that you love” and search for Hands On New Orleans.
4. Choose a percentage of the final sale price that you would like to donate. (note: there is a $5 minimum donation if your item sells)
5. Review and accept the eBay Giving Works Terms & Conditions.
6. Complete the Sell Your Item form and submit your listing.

Host your own fundraiser!

Many of our most successful fundraisers have been initiated by passionate alums. In the past alums have designed and sold t-shirts for HONO, hosted film screenings, created online wish lists, and have even held a fundraiser wedding; all to raise funds for the ongoing work in New Orleans.

To discuss your ideas for a fundraiser contact the HandsOn New Orleans Director of Development, Geneva Marney, at gmarney@handsonneworleans.org
