Bayou Liberty Relief serves as an operational base for Gulf Coast hurricane recovery volunteers by providing secure housing and nutritional meals, coordination with other hurricane recovery and relief organizations that utilize volunteer services, and engaging in direct community service in the Louisiana area.

Volunteers in the greater New Orleans/Slidell area rely on Bayou Liberty Relief for daily accommodations and meals without charge during their recovery and relief work, as well as for occasional, temporary respite from long-term service.
