Front Yard Bikes is a community bike shop that focuses on teaching participants of all ages how to fix and maintain bikes.

The mission of the LSU Food Pantry is to provide supplemental food to students in need who may experience hunger or food insecurity.

Food insecurity is a prevalent issue on college campuses nationwide that goes largely unaddressed. Some students may experience situational hunger or insecurity while others may demonstrate chronic hunger or insecurity and a need for continued support. Regardless of circumstances, no student should have to choose between food and other basic needs. The Food Pantry exists to help ease that choice and provide support.

OUR MISSION
We develop and promote the growth and revitalization of Mid City Baton Rouge by attracting new and retaining current residents and businesses.
OUR HISTORY
Mid City Redevelopment Alliance was founded by the Baton Rouge General in the fall of 1991. As the first not-for-profit organization in Baton Rouge created to address the challenges of a specific geographic region, Mid City Redevelopment Alliance has established itself as one of the most dynamic and successful community development organizations in our city.

A New Voice for our Community

We’re building a new kind of organization:

1. To develop relationships across the lines that have divided our community – the lines of race, political affiliation, denomination, geography.
2. To strengthen the leadership capacity and effectiveness of our community members.
3. To take action on concrete issues to improve our community’s quality of life.
