Good Stuff in TEC: Louisiana

Horns for Guns Collecting Donations

A group of New Orleans Episcopal churches, led by St. Anna’s, is working in cooperation with Bishop Jenkins and the New Orleans Police Department on Horns for Guns, a gun buyback and mentoring program that could take up to 300 guns off the streets of New Orleans.

On November 1, 2008, the Horns for Guns program will allow youth to trade firearms, no-questions asked, and select a musical instrument or photography equipment in return. The youth will have the opportunity to receive training from respected and renowned musicians within the New Orleans community. The event will take place from 2-5 p.m. at two different locations—one at the Treme Community Center, 900 North Villere, and the other at Progressive Baptist Church, 1214 South Robertson.
