We’re coming together to support two New Orleans legends.

Let’s show up for Al ‘Carnival Time’ Johnson & Little Freddie King with love, generosity, and community.

Effective and Creative Community Support

During COVID, Hurricanes, Tornadoes and other disasters we have been able to support New Orleans. It’s our mission, to help creatively support our city!

Since 2020, we have created over $3,700,000 worth of community-impact:

That’s employing musicians to deliver COVID meals to hospital front-line staff (while supporting local restaurants), delivering supplies after hurricanes and tornadoes, creating efforts to support neighborhood bars, raising funds for community members impacted by fires, arson, and much more . . .

Serving the community as a “force-for-good” is the point!

A “third space” that brings folks together!

Anyone can join! memberships are pay-what-you-like $5 a month or up. Members get access to all that Beanlandia creates - volunteer opportunities, learning, culture, and of course…. a bean parade.

The average is $15. That’s what we suggest.

As we grow we can do more for our community and our membership. Invest in community-building.
