Help Us Stock the Playhouse This GiveNOLA Day

At GiGi’s Playhouse New Orleans, everything we do is rooted in one simple promise: our programs are always FREE for every family who walks through our doors.

Today, we are proud to serve 305 individuals and families across the Greater New Orleans area, providing educational, therapeutic, fitness, and career-focused programs that build confidence, independence, and a true sense of belonging.

But behind every successful program is something simple… and essential.

It’s the Little Things That Make a Big Difference

Markers. Paint. Apples. Granola bars.

These everyday items may seem small, but they are a vital part of every program we offer. Art supplies spark creativity and self-expression. Healthy snacks help fuel our participants so they can stay engaged, focused, and ready to learn.

These are the things that turn our Playhouse into a welcoming, vibrant space where individuals with Down syndrome can thrive.

Our Goal: $3,000

This GiveNOLA Day, we are raising $3,000 to stock our Playhouse with the supplies we use every single day — art materials and healthy groceries/snacks that support our growing community.

As our Playhouse continues to grow, so do our needs. Your support helps ensure that every participant who walks through our doors has access to a fully supported, engaging experience.

Your Impact

Every donation—no matter the size—makes a direct and immediate difference:

• $25 provides healthy snacks for one program session
• $50 stocks art supplies for one program session
• $100 supports both snacks and supplies across multiple programs
• $250 helps fully stock the Playhouse for a week

A Place Where Everyone Belongs

Families often tell us that GiGi’s Playhouse is more than just a program—it’s a place where their loved ones feel seen, supported, and celebrated.

“GiGi’s is providing him a place where he feels like he belongs, he can be himself…” – Matthew’s mom

“GiGi’s is acceptance… to motivate, inspire, and have fun. It’s very special.” – Craig B., self-advocate and Board Member
