St. Anna's, in cooperation with the New Orleans Police Department and many others, are looking for new or lightly used musical instruments for Horns for Guns, an upcoming gun buyback program that could take up to 300 guns off of New Orleans’ streets. The goal of Horns for Guns is to reduce violence in the city, and to provide a creative, constructive, and life giving outlet to the city’s youth by trading guns for musical instruments, musical training, and opportunities for counseling.
The deadline for donations is September 3, 2008. Please bring or ship your new or lightly used instruments (brass, stringed all will be accepted, as well as monetary donations for purchasing instruments, graphic arts supplies, etc.!) to:
St. Anna's Episcopal Church
1313 Esplanade Avenue
New Orleans, LA 70116
For additional information, or to get involved with the program by volunteering, please call (504) 947-2121. You may also find additional information here.
