The Northshore Collaborative focuses on the unique needs of small businesses, non-profits, and community organizations.
BUSINESSES
While open to businesses of all sizes, the primary focus of The Northshore Collaborative is the special needs of small businesses, non-profits and community organizations. Members benefit through the networking and collaborative opportunities.
COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
Social and civic clubs can benefit from networking with our members. It’s an opportunity to share information about your organization, to recruit volunteers and to address additional needs with others who share similar challenges.
NON-PROFITS
Whether large or small, non-profits are businesses too. The Northshore Collaborative provides an opportunity to share challenges and solutions, and to network with businesses and individuals to explore possibilities.
INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIPS
Memberships are available to individuals who wish to be more involved in the community. It’s a great option for both employed and retired individuals who wish to share their time and talents in meaningful ways.
COLLABORATION IN ACTION
FEED THE LOCAL FRONT LINE WORKERS
AS SEEN ON WGNO TV
Northshore Collaborative is grateful to the community for supporting our efforts to send love to frontline workers–healthcare workers, first responders and caregivers. We also wanted to ensure that the behind-the-scenes workers, the unsung heroes, were also thanked with lunches. We’re so grateful to everyone who has stepped up to donate toward the fund.
Collectively, we engaged 11 local restaurants to prepare meals for workers at Slidell Memorial Hospital, Ochsner Regional Medical Center Northshore, St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office, St. Tammany Parish Fire Protection District 1, Slidell Police Department, St. Tammany Parish Coroner’s office. Lunches also were provided to the 100-person staff of caregivers at STARC, which provides a lifetime of Services, Training, Advocacy, Resources and Community Connections for individuals with intellectual and developmental disABILITIES in St Tammany Parish.
SLIDELL SEAMSTRESSES, SEWING UP LOVE
A special thanks to Slidell Seamstresses, a small group of local women who sewed masks in support of our efforts. We are grateful to Northshore Ace Hardware in Slidell for carrying the masks to support this effort. 100% of the $10 donation was added to the fund to feed local front line and support staff.
Masks were available in a variety of styles, and they sold out as quickly as they were replenished.
THE GRATITUDE CAMPAIGN
Thanks to those who participated in our Gratitude Campaign. This campaign has ended.
