The New Orleans Concierge Association holds annual fund raisers to benefit local charities. Silent auctions have been held with area restaurants providing food and libations and vendors such as hotels, airlines and galleries donating prizes. The funds raised at these events have benefited charities such as My House, an organization which helps single mothers and children who are homeless and Grace House which helps women who are recovering from alcohol and drug abuse. In 1998, to commemorate the 20^th Anniversary of Les Clefs d’Or, U.S.A., the national concierge association requested that each city with a local concierge association participate in a fund raiser that would benefit a local charity and Oprah’s Angel Network. Participating restaurants donated $1.00 per diner during the month of November which was divided between the New Orleans Chapter of Habitat For Humanity and the Angel Network.
