Our History
Nola Baptist Charities was birth in June of 2016 by Dr. Calvin W. Woods, Jr. when he became the President of the First District Missionary Baptist Association. His vision was to create a Baptist charity where African Americans could help their local churches and communities to address some of the needs they were facing. He realized that our individual churches were making a difference, but if we could combine our efforts, we could do greater things for our communities. Therefore, after he shared his vision and it was accepted and approved, he selected his committee, filed the proper papers to become a 501(C)3 Non-Profit agency and NOLA Baptist Charities became a reality.
