About Us
We are a family-rooted nonprofit dedicated to fighting hunger, advancing educational access, and empowering local New Orleans communities through strategic giving and compassionate outreach.
Driven by a profound commitment to give back to their community, Dan Shapiro, his wife Debbie, and daughter Allie Shapiro Dandry created the Shapiro Family Foundation in 2025. The foundation aims to create lasting positive change throughout New Orleans by addressing disparities in hunger relief and education access and equity. The foundation embodies Dan’s core belief that sustainable success must be shared and reinvested into the community. Through the Shapiro Family Foundation, the family will continue to champion initiatives that foster positive change and create lasting impact in New Orleans and beyond.Images
