History
Elan Ministries, Inc. is a non-profit organization based in New Orleans, LA. Founded by Rev. Teresa J. Reiger in 2003, Elan functioned as an urban ministry internship program until Hurricane Katrina hit in summer of 2005. Volunteers flooded the city to assist with cleanup and rebuilding, and Elan welcomed them as a host, offering meals cooked on Coleman stoves and connections with folks in the community in need of assistance. As our buildings were repaired and re-opened for business, Elan began offering lodging as well and the operation became an official branch of the ministry in 2007 as HisHands2Go. In 2010 Elan established Garden on Marais, a neighborhood garden that now hosts a 4-H kids Club on weekends.
