Empowering Communities through Play
Mission
Who We Are
Play it Forward NOLA focuses on upcycling used playsets to provide under-resourced communities with safe play spaces for children. By donating these playsets, we not only reduce waste but also bring joy to families while promoting sustainability. Our vision is to foster a community where every child has the right to play and thrive.
About
The idea for Play it Forward NOLA came from my work in real estate. As a realtor, I so often saw that when a home changed hands, playsets were disassembled and hauled off to the landfill if the new buyers didn’t need them. Feeling frustrated at the waste, I knew there had to be a better solution - and that’s how Play It Forward NOLA was born!
How Does It Work?
At Play It Forward we take care of every step at no cost to the donor or the recipient. After a donor contacts us, a team will come by to disassemble the playset, transport it to the new home, and assemble the playset for the next family in line (we have a long waitlist!). If you are donor, we provide waivers and letters to make the donation tax deductible. We're also happy to send photos in its new home if interested!
