Louisiana is known for being resilient, a place where tough circumstances are overcome with hard work.

Entergy is partnering with United Way of Southeast Louisiana and HandsOn New Orleans to create the United Way HandsOn Entergy Volunteer Center.  This partnership is an opportunity to power thousands of volunteers in creating sustainable value for communities we serve across a seven-parish region in Southeast Louisiana. After normal volunteer activities resume post-COVID-19, the volunteer center will support 170 community partners in recruiting and managing volunteers to execute high-impact service projects helping to revitalize schools, improve early childhood education, ensure economic stability, restore natural and built environments, and create safe, healthy and vibrant neighborhoods.  "On our journey to build the premier utility, collaborative partnerships such as this one are vital in helping us honor our commitment to improve the quality of life in the communities we serve," said Patty Riddlebarger, vice president of corporate social responsibility. "There is no single organization impacting as many people in as many ways as United Way. We are proud of our continued partnership, identifying and addressing gaps in the stability and well-being of Louisianans."  Phone a Senior
